Press Opinion. 



' "The author is evidently very thoroughly at home in regard to the technical subjects he has 

 set himself to elucidate, from the mechanical rather than the artistic point of view, although 

 the matter of correctness of taste is by no means ignored. Mr. Brown's style is directness 

 itself, and there is no tyro in the painting trade, however mentally imgifted, who could fail to. 

 carry away a clearer grasp of the details of the subject after going over the performance."

Press Opinion. 



"In the course of a hundred pages with some forty illustrations Mr. Brown gives a very 

 interesting and comprehensive survey of the progress and development of decorative art. It 

 cannot, of course, be pretended that in the limited space named the subject is treated ex- 

 haustively and in full detail, but it is sufficiently complete to satisfy any ordinary reader ;- 

 indeed, for general purposes, it is, perhaps, more acceptable than a more elaborate treatise. "

Press Opinion. 



" If all plumbers were to read this book, and if they followed the instructions given, there 

 would, we are sure, be fewer accidents from household boiler explosions, and many lives might 

 be saved. No doubt the majority of householders know or care little about the subject, but 

 any one who wishes to adopt the most up-to-date system of supplying hot water throughout 

 his house will be able to do so if he reads Mr. Hart's book and follows the instruction given. 

 It is a work that all who have charge of domestic water supply should study. It is a practical 

 and profitable book." H 7 t/, r fl Observer,
