Excerpt from Decorative Elements in Architecture: Random Observations on the Eternal Fitness of Things From a Decorative Point of View
We have made tremendous progress in art since the day of the brown-stone stoop dwelling, built by the mile, and the Eastlake sideboard, built by the gross, but our petticoat is still occasionally too green.

Excerpt from Decorative Elements in Architecture: Random Observations on the Eternal Fitness of Things From a Decorative Point of View
In less degenerate days, it was the pleasure of the well-conditioned class to encourage the arts and belles lettres by attaching to one's person artists and poets who painted and sang for the greater glory of the age.
We are alas far from that golden era, and wealth to-day is used to purchase old masters and not develop new ones.
The term "patron of the arts" has been abused, and too often it has meant, as Samuel Johnson so aptly put it, "one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water and when he has reached ground encumbers him with help."
To have found one for whom to patronize has meant to help and encourage in the hour when help and encouragement were sorely needed, is therefor to have found something rare and infinitely precious. The inspiration which I have derived from patronage of this character impels me to dedicate this modest volume to you.
So I, "that love the old Augustan days
Of formal courtesies and formal phrase"
make public acknowledgment of my debt.
If aught that I have done merits to live beyond the brief hour for which it was wrought, it will be because my hand was guided by your good taste.
