Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lectures and Lessons on Art: Being an Introduction to a Practical and Comprehensive Scheme
Ihave little to complain of in the reception the book has hitherto met with. A man who goes to battle must expect hard blows, and having myself declared war against critics, I am bound to confess that even those that are hostile have generally exhibited a greater magnanimity than I had before credited them with. What strikes me the most (no doubt be cause I am a novice) is the startling and wholly irreconcilable contrast in their opinions. While I have to thank many for a more generous appreciation of my work than I ever expected or deserved, others can see no good in it whatever some, too, are so obviously unjust that I cannot help thinking they have fitted on the caps I purposely left about, and are irritated at the jingling of the bells most of their objections are already refuted in the book itself.

Excerpt from Lectures and Lessons on Art: Being an Introduction to a Practical and Comprehensive Scheme
The following Lectures were given to a class of National Scholars at Kensington Museum, and they are published in the hope that they may be found useful to a larger circle of students, and perhaps not uninteresting to more advanced artists, who may wish to turn their attention to Ornament. With the exception of the Lecture on Education, which has been amplified, no additions and few emendations have been made, for what they might have gained in polish they would probably have lost in directness and force. They form the first part of an intended series, and are to be regarded simply as introductory to the Lectures on Architecture, Ornament, and the Human Figure, which I hope to be able to prepare for the press at some future time. The practical lessons on the principles of ornament were supplemented by constant reference to the magnificent collections immediately at hand. The illustrations are but a sorry substitute for such an advantage as this, but it is hoped they may help to explain my meaning to those who are not fortunate enough to enjoy a similar privilege.
