Oriental Rugs

The volume here presented goes, the first, into a field empty as it is extensive. It is the result of several ears' study, and the author hopes that it will serve well the purpose which prompted its creation.The maker of books of this sort is, after all, only a weaver. The sum of what he can accomplish is to produce a fabric sound, thorough in workmanship, grateful in design,and true in color. If it shall prove serviceable, survive the effects of wear and time, and perform throughout its term of endurance some office of aesthetic gratification as well, that is about all the weaver can hope for.
