Notes: The seventh issue of this annual journal “…conceived to meet the need for recording those discoveries, interpretations, acquisitions and publications which affect the art and history of glassmaking.”   “The Egyptians were very slow in developing their infant glass industry.  According to our present information they appear to have been the discoverers of glass somewhere around the year 1500 B.C. though there remains the suspicion–it is no more than that–that North Syria may have preceded them in that field, a belief that can be supported only by future excavations.”  (Glass Sculpture in Ancient Egypt, John D. Cooney, Journal of Glass Studies, Volume I, page 11).  This issue: Several articles in Italian, French, German; an essay on Malayan glass fragments, manufacturing beads in Adjagba (there’s a typing class word for you), Ghana.
