Excerpt from The Anatomy of Pattern
There is not much more to say by way of preface to a third edition than has been said already on the publication of the first and second - much less indeed; for when a book reaches its fifth thousand it may be supposed to justify itself, and to stand no longer in need of excuse.
It can do no harm, however, to state once more the aim of these Text books of Orna mental Design.
Throughout the series I have assumed no particular knowledge on the part of the student, but only that he is a student, that he wants to know, and that what he wants to know is what I would have liked some one to tell me when I was a beginner.
