<t ¥)R0BABLY no American has thought more on the subject of 

 *^^ the beautifying of cities, or thought to better effect, than has 

 Charles Mulford Robinson. His first book, 'The Improvement of 

 Towns and Cities,' gave the greatest impetus to the now widespread 

 movement for civic beauty that it has yet received in this country. 

 His occasional articles since have contributed vastly to information, 

 delight, and enthusiasm on the part of those who have learned that 

 the places where men live are worthy of love and care." — Philadel- 

 phia Ledger. 



"It is difiScult to name any movement for the bettering of mu- 

 nicipal conditions that is of greater importance, or shows more likeli- 

 hood of success, than that of which Mr. Charles Mulford Robinson's 

 new book, 'Modem Civic Art,' is the latest exponent. There is 

 hardly a matter concerning the adornment of the city, the convenience 

 and comfort of the people as a whole, that is not discussed. To give 

 force to suggestions concrete examples are given, for, luckily, there 

 is scarcely a possible improvement of our cities that cannot be seen 

 in some one city. The book is a strong plea." — Chicago Tribune. 



"Civic art is one of the sanest and most sensible practical move- 

 ments of this day, and is just now meeting with a consideration which 

 signifies a great triumphant movement for the beauty and comfort of 

 our municipalities. . . At a time when real beginnings are being 

 made, and a desire is becoming general and emphatic to carry this 

 city beautifying forward, the splendid book by Mr. Robinson comes 

 as especially welcome and appropriate. It is a most complete and 

 thorough work. We should almost say that every patriotic citizen 

 should have this beautiful and helpful book in his library." — St. Paul 

 Dispatch.
