Mzz PREFACE. The important questions raised by a subject so vast as that implied under the title of Decorative Composition, would require a volume of far greater bulk as well as a considerable number of coloured plates. Our scope is more modest and purely practical; we have only aimed at preparing a manual which should serve as a guide to industrial artists, designers, sculptors, and decorators, including young architects, in which they will find, summed up as clearly as possible, knowledge which only comes of experience, and which would have cost them long and tedious research to obtain. Hence the charm of style which attaches to a work aesthetically and exhaustively treated must not be looked for here, and, for obvious reasons, neither should highly finished drawings.
