Excerpt from Original Geometrical Diaper Designs: Accompanied by an Attempt to Develope and Elucidate the True Principles of Ornamental Design, as Applied to the Decorative Arts

Ornamental design may be classed according to its mode of application, and its style may be varied agreeably to the principles about to be explained. But to arrange styles of ornament according to their origin in other nations and in other ages, and set them up as models, as has almost universally been the practice of those who have written upon the subject, is, to say the least of it, a tacit admission of the inferiority of the conceptive powers of the mind, in regard to ornamental art, in this country at the present period.
