Reseña del editor

The publishers of the Encyclopedia Britannica having thought that the articles in the ninth edition on Drawing and Engraving might be acceptable in a separate volume, I have revised them and made certain additions, whilst preserving the style and treatment originally adopted. There was very little choice about the method of treatment, as the subjects were vast and the space rigorously limited. I could only say what was most important and say even that laconically. The style of the papers had to be simply didactic. As a rule, I am unwilling to assume an authoritative tone, but may have as much right to it as anybody else, after giving the best part of forty years to the study of these or cognate subjects.
