Leland explains how to mend almost anything in an 1890s house, starting with the materials and cements, then broken china, porcelain, majolica and terra cotta, glass, woodwork, books, manuscripts and papers. Along the way come wood-shavings and papier-mâché, useful for filling cracks or making toys and masks.
