Written by Jackson to promote his wallpapers, it repeats some of his
assertions in the _Enquiry_ but gives little detail concerning his
career. It is important as an illustrated book and as an early
document in the history of wallpaper. The prints have suffered from
the use of an inferior oil vehicle.
