[The porcelain manufactory of Copenhagen was com-menced by Miiller, a medical practitioner, in 1772, it beingat first a joint-stock company. This speculation fading,it was purchased by the Danish Government, and liassince remained in tlieir hands, although it does not ap-pear to have ever been a profitable manufactory. Mullercommenced making figures in biscuit in 1802; and latterlythe chief business of the establishment has been that ofcopying the works of Thorwaldsen , which has been gra-dually extending. The mark on the Copenhagen chinais three parallel wavy lines —these signify the Sound andGreat and Little Belts.—R. IT.]

Specimen of a graphic mode of representation calledstylography. The work is executed by means of a stylein a black composition of resin, having a very thin white,paper-like surface; from this an impression is taken byelectrotype, which is used for printing. By this processthe art of engraving nearly resembles drawing, so thatthe person at work is enabled to judge as he proceeds olthe appearance of his work when struck off on paper.As the engraving is executed in a soft mass without anyexertion, any person who can draw will after a little prac-tice be able to execute this kind of work.
The exhibited plates show the whole process, from thefirst plate covered with the mass of resin down to thefinished copper plate, with a copy struck off from it.
[This process is of a similar character to the glypho-graphic art, patented in this country. In both cases thedrawing is made upon a yielding material, and the metalis deposited in the lines by the electrotype process. Inmany cases it has been found to offer advantages superiorto those of wood engraving; but glyphography has notbeen extensively employed.—R. H.]
