singularly good.... The work is practically an epitome of a hundred
Works on Design."--_Studio._

"The author's acquaintance with ornament amazes, and his three
thousand subjects are gleaned from the finest which the world
affords. As a treasury of ornament drawn to scale in all styles, and
derived from genuine concrete objects, we have nothing in England
which will not appear as poverty-stricken as compared with Professor
Meyer's book."--_Architect._

"The book is a mine of wealth even to an ordinary reader, while to
the Student of Art and Archaeology it is simply indispensable as a
reference book. We know of no one work of its kind that approaches
it for comprehensiveness and historical accuracy."--_Science and
Art._

A HANDBOOK OF ART SMITHING.--For the use of Practical Smiths, Designers
and others, and in Art and Technical Schools. By F. S. MEYER, Author of
"A Handbook of Ornament." Translated from the Second German Edition.
With an Introduction by J. STARKIE GARDNER. Containing 214
Illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth, price 6_s._, net 5_s._

Both the Artistic and Practical Branches of the subject are dealt with,
and the Illustrations give selected Examples of Ancient and Modern
Ironwork. The Volume thus fills the long-existing want of a Manual on
Ornamental Ironwork, and it is hoped will prove of value to all
interested in the subject.

"Charmingly produced.... It is really a most excellent manual,
crowded with examples of ancient work, for the most part extremely
well selected."--_The Studio._

"Professor Meyer's work is a useful historical manual on art
smithing, based on a scientific classification of the subject, that
will be of service to all smiths, designers, and students of
technical and art schools. The illustrations are well drawn and
numerous."--_Building News._

_Published with the Sanction of the Science and Art Department._
