Excerpt from Some Principles of Every-Day Art: Introductory Chapters on the Arts Not Fine The original edition of Every-day Art being out of print, it occurred to me to issue the first (and, as I think, the only permanently interesting) part of it, in the form of an introductory volume to the Text Books of Ornamental Design, without, however, substantially reducing the number of illustrations. When it came to revising the text for the press, I found on every page something which I thought might be better said. And so it has resolved itself into my writing the greater part of it anew.
