Goldenberg, Samuel L. [Lace; its origin and history.] [*]$1.50. Brentano’s.
The different kinds of lace are arranged alphabetically, with particulars as to their characteristics, their various subdivisions, and the manner in which they are made. The illustrations are especially clear and useful for purposes of lace study. The book contains much valuable information on machine-made laces, with diagrams and explanations of the lace and embroidery machines now in use. It tells also of the nets made for the foundations of certain kinds of lace. The opening article treats of the origin and history of lace.
“The book is well adapted for its purpose, the enlightenment of ‘the busy man of affairs,’ but it is evident our author is hampered by having to express his meaning in English, and sometimes fails to convey what he intends.”

“It is written for those who delight in flowers and who love their gardens rather than for the connoisseur.”
