In the last parts of the book I have gone less into details, merely because I assume that those who have mastered the first parts of this work will not need many words to understand the rest. If the demand for this perhaps prematurely announced book had not become so vehement lately that I could not possibly delay its publication any longer, I should have tried to produce sample illustrations that combine inner art value with good printing. As it is, I postpone this for a supplementary volume soon to appear, in which I shall occupy myself mainly with processes and methods not yet generally known, representing each by means of a true work of art. With which I now end my text-book, with the hearty wish that it will find many friends and create many good lithographers. This may God grant! The Riverside Press PRINTED BY H. O. HOUGHTON & CO.
