No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Christine, there is a volume called Evidence on the Employment of Children 1842 which covers working conditions for children in the glassmaking industry, amongst others. If you've not seen it, it is worth looking at. If you cannot find a printed copy, then check out Archive CD Books as they have produced it as a searchable CD-ROM scanned copy.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

Spoke to Roger and he isn't aware of the periodical you mention, but I did see a copy of:

The National Flint Glass Maker's Friendly Society of Great Britain and Ireland

Is this what you are looking for?

Although they only have a few very early copies (I took a photo of the April 1858 cover if you're interested), he is sure they have copies of the Glass Circle. I can only suggest you contact Broadfield House and either speak to him, or one of his collegues.
