Excerpt from Notes and Queries, Vol. 1: A Medium for Intercommunication for Literary Men, General Readers, Etc.; January June, 1874

If, however, W. N. Y. Thinks it worth while to send to my address below a private communication, covering Sketches of the shapes of the pieces he possesses, with tracings of the marks on the porcelain, and a full description of the colours and pattern of the decoration, I shall be happy to secure further consideration for his specimens by practical professional men, as well as by myself, an amateur student of thirty-five years' standing. In the mean time, if he would submit one of his breakfast pieces to Mr. Barnet Phillips, of the New York Times, I think that that gentleman would be able to give a shrewd opinion respecting the true or fictitious nature of the ware.
