that estate owners, instead of surrendering inevitably to the fence-maker's catalogue, will, 

 by the aid of the examples given, be helped to evolve designs which shall have the merit 



of individuality and special suita-

 that which is easily accessible, and 

 to value that which is exotic and 

 remote, and in no case has this 

 tendency been more pronounced 

 than in the design of gates, and 

 it is hoped that the examples which have been given of simple designs, lending themselves 

 to sound and honest construction by the local craftsman, may help to remove this 

 tendency.
