[The manufacture of stoneware and delft is carried onto a considerable extent in Bohemia and Lower Austria ,and partially in Moravia also.
In the manufacture of porcelain, the productions of thestate factory at Vienna are pre-eminent in point of eleganceof design and excellence of fabric and workmanship. Theyare worthy to be classed with the productions of Sevres .This branch of Austrian industry is more widely diffusedthroughout Bohemia than in the other provinces of theempire. The annual value of this manufacture exceedsone million and a quarter of fiorins.
Other branches of industry, more or less directly con-nected with it, such as tlic enamelling of the ware, themanufacture of crucibles, artificial stone, grindstones, stoneand marble slabs, &c., yield articles that are included inthe Wedgwood pottery/]

[One-third, or 35,307,000 Lower Austrian chains, of theentire soil of Austria , is covered with forests, which furnishyearly the quantity of 17,000,000 cubic cords (42,500,000cords of Lower Austria ) of wood of every description. Thedisproportionate excess of forest to the whole area of thesoil in some provinces, combined with the diversity of thewages of labour, as well as of the means and facilities oftransport or. carriage prevailing in others, and, lastly, theirregularly distributed demand for wood for purposes ofmining, of glass-houses, of stationary and locomotiveengines, as well as of steam-vessels, are among the causeswhich have occasioned, on the one hand, the extraordinarydifference in the price of wood to be remarked as betweenvarious localities in the monarchy, where it is largely con-sumed (a difference ranging in some instances even to 600per cent.), and on the other hand have given rise to thenecessity for importing wood for building purposes, andeven for fuel, from abroad. These imports comprise, forthe most part, the quantity required for the use of Lom-bardy , a province wliieli, by the necessities of its geo-grapliical position, is compelled to draw its supplies ofwood from Switzerland and Piedmont. Whilst the navi-gation of the Danube affords the means of easy transportof building timber and fuel down that stream, from SouthGermany , and especially of that large supply of firewoodnecessary for the Imperial capital, on the northern andeastern frontiers of the empire, the rivers Elbe, Oder,Vistula, Sereth, and Danube , afford so many channels' forconveying away the wood and timber in which the frontierprovinces are so rich. Although the great bulk of theseexports was in rough wood, the exportation to the Danubian
