About the book >.>.> DINCE William Morris succeeded in infusing a new life into English Decorative Art, it has passed through several conspicuous phases which, to the modern artist and craftsman, are of considerable importance. These phases have come and gone so rapidly, that with the likelihood of the future bringing about still greater revolutions in the realm of Art, it is very desirable that some characteristic record should be made of the course Decorative Art has pursued during the past quarter of a century. which To achieve this object this series of volumes on "Modern Decorative Art in England" have been put forward and it is hoped that they will, in some measure, serve as a contemporary history of modern industrial design. The work is being divided into five volumes, cach one dealing with certain well-defined branches of decorative and applied Art. It is hoped that this arrangement will meet with the approval of those interested in the subject, and make the volumes useful as a work of reference. I.
