Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Anatomy of Pattern
There is not much more to say by way of preface to a third edition than has been said already on the publication of the first and second - much less indeed; for when a book reaches its fifth thousand it may be supposed to justify itself, and to stand no longer in need of excuse.
It can do no harm, however, to state once more the aim of these Text books of Orna mental Design.
Throughout the series I have assumed no particular knowledge on the part of the student, but only that he is a student, that he wants to know, and that what he wants to know is what I would have liked some one to tell me when I was a beginner.

Excerpt from The Anatomy of Pattern
There was a time in my own struggling for artistic existence, when I should have been so grateful for any practical teaching in ornament, that I fancy there must be students who will find it helpful to have set plainly before them what I have had to puzzle out for myself Hence this series of Text Books of Ornamental Design; in which I have amplified and illustrated the substance of a series of Cantor Lectures delivered in December last before the Society of Arts.
I have assumed no great amount of technical or artistic knowledge on the part of the reader only that he wants to know. And, elementary as my subject is, I have taken some pains to save him all unnecessary effort in following my meaning.
The illustrations are to be taken literally as illustrations, and not by any means considered as ornamental addenda to the book.
