Excerpt from The Arts Connected With Building: Lectures on Craftsmanship and Design Delivered at Carpenters Hall London Wall for the Worshipful Company of Carpenters

The purpose of these lectures is neither antiquarian, literary, nor academic. Their institution by the Car penters' Company and their publication aim to stimulate the ambition of craftsmen towards a high ideal of attainment. It may also be hoped that they will encourage a belief in others as to the possibilities of modern craftsmanship.

The arts which go to the creation of beautiful build ings should occupy the hands and thoughts of thousands if properly encouraged by the public, and would, if rightly directed, do much to add to the vitality and interest of modern architecture. Beautiful brickwork, plaster, woodwork, and metalwork ought to be within the reach of thousands who have now to be content with characterless, commonplace, mechanical productions. If, in the first place, we can secure honest, simple, and expressive work, directed by good design, we may surely hope the public will respond by encouraging a demand for it.
