Excerpt from A Guide to the Knowledge of Pottery, Porcelain, and Other Objects of Vertu: Comprising an Illustrated Catalogue of the Bernal Collection of Works of Art, With the Prices at Which They Were Sold by Auction, and the Names of the Present Possessors
I have been requested to write a few introductory lines to this Catalogue, and feel it is one of the greatest compliments that could have been paid to me. Nothing I can say would enhance the value of such a collection, and I cannot therefore look on the request in any other light than that of a delicate mode of conferring upon me the privilege of publicly expressing the respect and regard which I have for nearly thirty years entertained for the kind friend, whose sudden and unexpected loss I so deeply deplore.
