OPINIONS OF

“The examples of illumination
given to illustrate the text confer
upon the book itself no slight artistic
value. The treatise, with its acces-
saries, reflect much credit upon its
author.” —A/orning Post.

“Full of precise suggestions on
the best form of pc ‘and brushes Sy
the ae ration of ea the

 

 

areit hia such as could Mee
come from an expert. ‘The illustra-
tions are taken from good examples
of the French, German, Italian, and
Celtic Schools. ‘Vhe coloured pages
are quite equal in style to those in
more expensive works. This
is a very creditable and remarkably
cheap little book.” ~-Architect.

“An essentially useful book to
draughtsmen.” —/igaro.

““A most valuable work.’
burgh Courant,

“The educated eye, with or with-
out any intention of learning to prac-
tise this exquisite art, may derive a
great deal of refined pleasure from
Mr. Ward’s book on the subject.” —
fllustrated London News.

“Of all the volumes that we have

seen, none equals this as a compact
and cheap book of instructions.
Of these twenty-four plates there is
not one that is not worthy of admira-
tion as in itself a work of art.”—
Standard.

all beginners in this lately revived and

THE PRESS,

“Tt is a complete history of the
subject, and abounds with  illustra-
tions of the styles prevailing at dif-
ferent periods, and the letterpress is
full of interest. The writer is an en-
thusiast in his art, and a very beau-
tiful art it is—one, too, which may
be followed with success by many
persons of artistic taste, whose abili-
tics would not enable them to take
nk among ordinary painters.’’—
Morning Aduer tiser.

“These specimens are exceedingly
beautiful in design as well as colour-
ing. The instructions to students are
not only technically well written but
have a literary interest in connection
with the subject of illumination.”
Freeman's Fournal.

“That Mr. Marcus Ward is a

master of the art this volume, like
others he has issued during the pre-
sent season, sufficiently proves.
A most tempting topic to the author,
the student, and the reviewer, but
which must lead us no further at this
moment than to the renewed ex-
pression of our admiration for Mr.
Ward’s excellent manual.”—dfan-
chester Guardian.

‘“The volume, whether as regards
- literary or artistic qualities, is en-

itled to high praise. ‘The practical
Eine are concise and clear.”
—City Press.

‘*A very useful little treatise, the
merit of which is in no small degree
enhanced bythe excellent illustrations
with which it is thickly studded.”~-
The Hour.
