Glazier, Richard. [Manual of historic ornament.] *$2. Scribner.
A second edition revised and enlarged. It is surprising how many examples of the ornament of past ages in many countries “have been collected together in this book, with its clear pen drawings. These include not only architecture, but glass, silver, ivory, carpets, furniture, china, and sculpture. There is a running commentary which clearly indicates the main outlines of the subject.” (Spec.)
“Useful handbook.”

“For a book devoted avowedly to ‘ornament’ there is an unexpected amount of care and thoughtful analysis given to architecture in the larger sense of construction, disposition, and ordonnance. There is no index of consequence. On this account one doubts the practical utility of the book. The general tendency of the book is to be praised.”
