Publisher's Synopsis
From the PREFACE. The contents of this book chiefly consist of a series of class lectures, delivered to the students of the Macclesfield School of Art. They are published in the hope that they may be useful to general students in art, and more particularly to those who are specially interested in the subject of decorative design. The illustrations are merely intended as blackboard diagrams, and were used as such when the lectures were given. I have added to the lectures in this book a glossary of terms commonly used in ornament. As a text-book for candidates who wish to sit for the Government Third Grade Examination in the -Elementary Principles of Ornament, - I trust it may be found serviceable.
J. WARD, Macclesfield, 1890.
