First published in 1981 this unique study discusses the evolution
of Plato's thought through the actual developments in Athenian
democracy, the book also demonstrates Plato's continuing responses
to changes in political theory and argues for a new understanding
of Plato's goals for the state and his ultimate concern for the
moral well-being of the citizens.
Paperweight collectors are usually familiar with the histories and
products of the French manufacturers Clichy, Baccarat, and Saint
Louis, but many know little about English makers from early times
to the present day. This book, dedicated solely to the English
paperweight makers and containing paperweight examples from the
early nineteenth century to 1980, will fill that gap. Gathered
together for the first time in one book are the world's largest
collections of Bacchus paperweights, as well as many previously
unknown and never before photographed paperweights from English
glasshouses, all rivaling the best from the French makers. By
comparing canes, colors, and styles with one of the hundreds of
examples shown in this book, collectors should now be able to
identify their own previously unknown weights, and the fake "1848"
dated paperweights and inkwells can now be attributed to the right
factories and time periods. With over 400 beautiful color
photographs, detailed, fascinating descriptions of the weights, and
a value guide, this book is a must for paperweight enthusiasts and
collectors everywhere.
