A FEW OF THE MODERN BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT OF COLOR WHICH THE AUTHOR OF
THIS WORK HAS FOUND MOST USEFUL
_Bradley, Milton_, author of "Color in the Schoolroom" and "Color in
the Kindergarden."—Elementary Color. With an Introduction by Henry
Lafavour, Ph. D., Professor of Physics, Williams College. Milton
Bradley and Co., Springfield, Mass. [1895]. Small 8vo., pp. [i]-iv,
[1]-128; colored frontispiece ("miniature color charts made from the
Bradley educational colored papers," showing 126 unnamed colors) and
numerous figures in text.
The present writer frankly and gratefully acknowledges that he has
learned more, and learned it more easily, from this little book, which
is a model of conciseness and perspicuity, than from careful study of
more elaborate and authoritative works on the subject. It is therefore
most heartily recommended to the student as a preliminary, at least, to
the study of more technical works on color.
