Excerpt from The Hand-Book of Taste in Book-Binding I have already disclaimed all idea of entering into any explanation of the mechanical process of book binding, or of giving the history of the art; for the subject, though sufficiently curious to those who delight in such matters, would to the many have, I fear, little interest; but still it may not be out of place to say a few words upon the different modes used' to preserve 'manuscripts, before the adoption of the mode of bookbinding now in use.

Excerpt from Catalogue of My English Library I confess that I am an advocate of fine bindings. But bookbinding is so much a matter of taste and individual fancy, that little need be said here, for every one can gratify his own taste according to his means. There are few things, however, upon which the rich can display their wealth and taste to better advantage than upon their libraries. Binding ad mits of an infinite variety of design in ornaments, and whether cheap or dear may, in skilful hands, always be kept within the bounds of good taste. For public libraries, where chiefly the contents of the books are regarded, cheap, or what is techni cally called half binding in calf or morocco, is usually sufficient but in private hands of the wealthy, where books are not only a library but articles of luxury and furniture, great pains should be taken to secure not only the best editions, but those adorned with a variety of choice and artistic bindings.

A rare study of a centuries-old art form, The Art of Bookbinding preserves a precious legacy for binders, book art enthusiasts, and collectors.

Excerpt from An Analytical Inquiry Into the Principles of Taste In objects of vision, however, this influence (if organic sensation is much more pievalent m the imitation than the reality. For painting be1ng no ways connected with utility, but 1n tended merely to please, mental habits, preju 'dices, and associations have much less controul 'over it than over the objects which it1epre sents. In building and ga1dening, and still more in dress and fu1n1ture, the charms of neatness, propriety, richness, Splendo'r, Ste. Often reconcile us to those harsh and disce1d ant Oppositions of colour, which, if imitated by painting, in all their native cru'dity, and without beihg softened and melted together by tender gradations of shadow, become glaringly offensive to every eye, and quite intole1able to those accustomed to the art. In thereality, also, much will dependhp'on the kind and degree of light to which objects are exposed; whence we can bear, and even require, much' more brilliance and opposition of colour in the 1nsides than on the outsides of buildings; and more in articles, that are to be seen by candle light, than ih those which are to be exposed to day-light: for candle-light, moon-light, and twilight melt every thing into one mild hue.
