Illumination of books and manuscripts
_The ART JOURNAL says_--It would be difficult to overrate the value of
this work--a work that is not to be estimated by its cost: one is
great, the other very small. Any learner may find in it a huge volume
of thought, his studies rightly directed by a competent practical
teacher, who will teach him nothing by which he can be led astray, or
that he will have to unlearn when he consults the great Book of
Nature.
Adopted by the Science and Art Department, South Kensington.
