Excerpt from The Art of Illuminating: And Missal Painting

Owing to the rapidly increasing love for the beautiful Art of Illumination, and the devotion with which it is being studied throughout the length and breadth of our land - no apology is required for the appearance of this little volume.

We have endeavoured to write it throughout in a simple and connected manner, in order to save, as much as possible, confusion and doubt in the minds of our readers, and we trust it will be found of practicable value to the Student and Amateur.
