“Amongst the best of our few good ornamental designers is Mr. Lewis
F. Day, who is the author of several books on ornamental art.
‘Nature in Ornament’ is the latest of these, and is probably the
best. The treatise should be in the hands of every student of
ornamental design. It is profusely and admirably illustrated, and
well printed.”--_Magazine of Art._
“A book more beautiful for its illustrations, or one more helpful
to students of art, can hardly be imagined.”--_Queen._

“Authoritative as coming from a writer whose mastery of the
subjects is not to be disputed, and who is generous in imparting
the knowledge he acquired with difficulty. Mr. Day has taken much
trouble with the new edition.”--_Architect._
“A good artist, and a sound thinker, Mr. Day has produced a book of
sterling value.”--_Magazine of Art._

better or can teach it as well as Mr. Lewis Day; few also who are

the way he has done in this manual--a way beautiful as well as
useful--he has performed a service not only to the students of his
profession, but also to the public.”--_Academy._

comprehensive, compact, and intelligent treatise on a subject which
is more difficult to treat than outsiders are likely to think. It
is a capital little book, from which no tyro (it is addressed to
improvable minds) can avoid gaining a good deal.”--_Athenæum._
