Transcriber's Note:
_ _ indicates italic text.
= = indicates bold text.
^ indicates a superscript.
Missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.
Both hyphenated and un-hyphenated variants of some words appear
in this book. All have been retained. The author has used UK-English
variants of some words (e.g. 'colour', etc., not 'color', etc.), and
some older spellings.
Illustrations that interrupt a paragraph have been moved to a more
convenient position nearby, between paragraphs, and closer to their
descriptive text.
The text in the Omar Khayyám illustrations appears to be missing
some end-punctuation, or it is partially hidden by the design. It
seems to have been a hand-written copy, by the author (William
Morris), of the Fitzgerald translation of Omar Khayyám. As it is
hand-written, it has not been amended to the Fitzgerald translation.
Page 25 and Index: 'Wentworth Buller' is mentioned on Page 25;
'Bullen, Wentworth, 25.' is the entry in the Index.
The transcriber cannot find which spelling is correct, so both have
been retained.
Page 54: 'Hebblewhite' corrected to 'Hepplewhite'.
"... and Chippendale, Sheraton, and Hepplewhite...."
Pages 59-60: 'In fact, since artists more or less concerned with
decoration had increased, owing to the revived activity and demand
arising for design of all kinds.' This sentence does not make sense.
'since' may be extraneous.
Page 72: 'For in spite the immense activity and industry, the
independent artists in design and handicraft were but few,...'
should probably read either:
'For despite the immense activity and industry,...'
or
'For in spite of the immense activity and industry,...'
OED gives: spite, n. & v.t. 1. ... (in) ~ of, notwithstanding.
So 'in' may be optional, but 'of' seems to be needed. The transcriber
has chosen to correct 'in spite' to 'in spite of'.
In other places, the author has used brief notes rather than
grammatically correct prose. These appear to have been hasty jottings,
and have been retained.
Page 75: 'fatigueing' corrected to 'fatiguing'.
"We have no word-symbols for defining those delicate shades of
difference so important to the artist, and to be perpetually
qualifying is fatiguing."
Page 78, Footnote 4: 'Cooper' corrected to 'Cowper'.
(Reference: Wikipedia)
"... by some of our ablest men of the younger school, such as
Mr. Payne and Mr. Cadogan Cowper,...".
The Index entry is correct.
Page 174: 'droping' corrected to 'dropping'.
"by the use of the brush in floating or dropping on the forms of
the ornament."
Page 241: 'intance' corrected to 'instance'.
"... different points of view--for instance, (1) as an
accessory...."
