Mr. Delamotte’s book was wanted.’—Athenæum.

‘To artists of all classes, but more especially to architects and engravers, this very handsome book will be invaluable.

‘A volume in which the letters of the alphabet come forth glorified in gilding and all the colours of the prism interwoven and intertwined and intermingled, sometimes with a sort of rainbow arabesque. A poem emblazoned in these characters would be only comparable to one of those delicious love letters symbolised in a bunch of flowers well selected and cleverly arranged.’—Sun.
