The Decoration of Leather. Translated from the 

 French of Georges de Recy by Maude Nathan. 

 With illustrations and examples of Leather De- 

 coration from various sources. 



" In a preface which is omitted from this translation, the author 

 claims for his work a place between the books dealing solely with 

 the history and development of the art of working in leather and 

 those of which the object is to impart a knowledge of the technique 

 of its various processes to amateurs who may be unable or unwilling 

 to undertake a regular course of instruction. He points out that 

 leather, in its adaptibility to many different kinds of treatment, is 

 a material eminently suited to the interpretation of the style of 

 decoration known as ' modern art.' " — Extract from the Trans- 

 lator's Note.
