Author Description

Excerpt from Art Crafts for Amateurs Two visits to the Paris Exhibition, which was, indeed, a microcosm of human endeavour, enabled the author to widen his outlook, and by enlarging the scope of his inquiries make the following pages, therefore, of more interest to the reader, as the newer tendencies stirring craftsmen abroad have been touched upon. This work IS published three years after the author's Training of a Craftsman, which might be considered a sequel to the present book, and to which he refers those readers who, having followed the writer with some pleasure and profit to themselves, would like to carry their studies further.
