Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Every-Day Art: Short Essays on the Arts Not Fine
Writings on art divide themselves mainly into two kinds - the technical and the readable.
Of these the one class appeals necessarily to a limited public, and is seldom calculated to tempt a reader not deeply concerned in the subject. The other has a value chie?y literary, and scarcely appeals to the student of art.
It has been my endeavour to keep a middle course, and to find readable expression for matter which is of a more or less technical character. I have tried to present my thoughts in a form as perfect as is within the reach of one whose every day art is not of a literary nature but though I have not relied upon the reader s interest in ornament, my words are addressed, in the first place, to those who know, or wish to know, some thing of it.
