This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1827. Excerpt: … the work-box, except the groove for the lid consisting of four pieces, each of which is fixed separately to its side-piece, after a strip of sarsnet, that strengthens the hinge, has been glued in the inside.. ORNAMENTS. Objects made of pasteboard, when they are of a competent size, may be decorated in various ways, which the genius and fancy of the young artist will readily suggest. But such ornaments are generally made of fine coloured paper cut into narrow slips, or of the gold and silver or coloured embessed borders, described in page 38, the breadth of which is always proportionate to the magnitude of the article that is to be ornamented. One edge, and on occasions, both edges of such paper borders, are pinked, vandyked, or cut out in small concave bows of equal dimensions; or sometimes one edge, or even both edges of the strips form a zigzag line. In plate VI, fig. 3, the numhers 1, 2,3, 4, 5, are patterns of paper ornaments cut out with punches or pinking irons. On placing the instrument a second time close to the first line which has been pierced, and stamping or pinking in a line parallel with it, you obtain a zigzag line, which being applied in different ways, forms a very beautiful ornament. Numbers 4 and 5 are specimens of such lines cut out of paper. A particular skill in cutting ornaments with a pair of scissors, out of paper folded double, has the advantage of enabling the artist to contrive a far greater variety of ornaments than can be obtained with a punch, though perhaps not quite so regular and accurate-; and here it may be observed, that if a variety of accurate paper patterns be cut, they will serve as guides for cutting others out of plain or coloured pasteboard, which will be found useful for many purposes. This cutting out of ‘hand…

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
