Josiah Wedgwood (1730-1795) was a master potter who pioneered the
industrialisation of pottery manufacture during the early
Industrial Revolution. His experimental work on ceramics resulted
in many innovations in the production and decoration of pottery.
This three-volume work, edited by his great-granddaughter Katherine
Eufemia Farrer and published between 1903 and 1906, contains
Wedgwood's letters to his business partner Thomas Bentley
(1730-1780) and others. Wedgwood's highly successful partnership
with Bentley is credited with the expansion and development of
Wedgwood's reputation across Europe. The letters cover the years
1762 to 1794 and provide a lively account both of the growth of the
business partnership and of Wedgwood's domestic life. Wedgwood
maintained a keen interest in current affairs, and these volumes
provide a fascinating glimpse into the society and domestic life of
the late eighteenth century. Volume 3 covers 1781-1794.
