tracing powder is used in preparing the patterns, or sold for
that purpose. All designs, therefore, offered as those of the Royal
School are either entirely spurious, or are pirated from theirs.

Transcriber's Note

Minor typographic errors in punctuation have been corrected without
note.

Hyphenation has been made consistent in the main body of the text
without note. Please note that the author uses the term 'high light'
rather than the more usual 'highlight'.

The following amendments have been made:

Page 15--grounds amended to ground--"As ground for
embroidery it has an excellent effect."

Page 53--the page reference to Burden stitch has been
amended from 49 to 50.

The first 10 captioned illustrations (starting with
"No. 1.--STEM STITCH") have been made consistent with
the later illustrations, by the removal of the word
Illustration and a comma at the beginning of each
of those captions.

The two illustrations on page 81 (Plates 11 and 12) were
printed in reverse order in the original. The captions
have been amended to the correct numeric order in this
e-text.

Currency indicators (s. and d.) were printed in italics in the original
text. The convention has not been retained in this e-text.
