All information to be obtained at the Show Rooms, As advertisements have from time to time appeared in various newspapers offering for sale designs of the Royal School of Art-Needlework, the Public is requested to note that no designs either on pricked paper, or in any other form than on commenced work, are, or ever have been, sold by the School, or supplied to any agent. Further, that no tracing powder is used in preparing the patterns, or sold for that purpose. All designs, therefore, offered as those of the Royal School are either entirely spurious, or are pirated from theirs. CHISWICK PRESS:—C. WHITTINGHAM, TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE. Transcriber's Note Minor typographic errors in punctuation have been corrected without note. Hyphenation has been made consistent in the main body of the text without note. Please note that the author uses the term 'high light' rather than the more usual 'highlight'. The following amendments have been made: Page 15—grounds amended to ground—"As ground for embroidery it has an excellent effect." Page 53—the page reference to Burden stitch has been amended from 49 to 50. The first 10 captioned illustrations (starting with "No. 1.—Stem Stitch") have been made consistent with the later illustrations, by the removal of the word Illustration and a comma at the beginning of each of those captions. The two illustrations on page 81 (Plates 11 and 12) were printed in reverse order in the original. They have been swapped over so they are now in the correct numeric order in this e-text. Omitted page numbers refer to blank pages in the original. The final section of the book (starting on page 97) included some headings in a gothic-style font. You may wish to adjust the fantasy font setting in your browser to reproduce this styling. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
