The compiler writes: 'In the earlier editions of the history, the accounts of the various manufactories appeared within their geographical sections but in no specific order. In an attempt to facilitate the use of this revised edition as a reference book, I have therefore rearranged the materials. To this end, Part One ... is devoted to the Staffordshire Potteries with the main towns appearing in their alphabetical sequence. Part Two deals with the non-Staffordshire producers of pottery and porcelain, listed in alphabetical order of the places where they worked'. The sections include: 'The Staffordshire Potteries' [pp1-144]; 'Other nineteenth century potteries' [pp146-254]; Appendix listing marks and dating; Appendix being 'Some errors in the 1883 edition'
