Mr. Cleland is a young man who has an innate appreciation for
decorative effect and, what is more to the purpose, an ability to
apply it. For some years past his skill in typographic arrangement has
added much to the products of several of our more advanced publishers;
by more advanced I mean those with a knowledge and belief that it is
good business to offer to the public books that delight the eye as
well as the mind. Mr. Cleland has done many decorative bits by way of
head- and tail-pieces and initials. There are also to his credit a
baker's dozen of book-plates. These last are intensely decorative, and
to class them as pictorial really does them injustice. They are
thoroughly conventional and quite medieval in feeling.
