My object in writing this work has been that of aiding in The art-education of those who seek a knowledge of ornament as applied to our industrial manufactures. I have not attempted The production of a pretty Book, but have aimed at giving what knowledge I possess upon The subjects treated of, in a simple and intelligible manner. I have attempted simply to instruct. The substance of The present work was first published as a series of lessons in The Technical Educator. These lessons are now collected into a work, and have been carefully revised; a few new illustrations have been inserted, and a final chapter added. As The substance of this work was written as a series of lessons for The Technical Educator, I need not say that is addressed to working men, for The whole of The lessons in that publication have been prepared especially for those noble fellows who, through want of early opportunity, have been without The advantages of education, but who have The praiseworthy courage to educate Themselves in later life, when The value of knowledge has become apparent to Them. That The lessons as given in The Technical Educator have not been written wholly in vain I already know, for shortly before I had completed this revision of Them, I had The opportunity of visiting a provincial town hall which I had heard was being decorated, and was pleasingly surprised to see decoration of considerable merit, and evidences that much of what I saw had resulted from a consideration of my articles in The Technical Educator.
