Abstract
IT is always a satisfaction to encounter a work giving evidence, not alone of the pleasure experienced in its preparation, but also of a thoroughness of knowledge and a completeness in execution, such as are too often absent. In writing about ‘completeness’ it is, of course, not suggested that the whole art and science of decorative upholstery can be embodied between the covers of a book (16mo) of 440 pages with the encroachment caused by 239 illustrations and diagrams. It is rather the completeness that takes a survey of all the varia that may be comprehended by the subject matter.
