DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Application of Art to Manufactures: With 150 Illustrations The refining influence of Art is much needed; but to its full development we may not look forward so long as its importance is imperfectly understood. At present it suffers from constant abuse on the one hand, and utter neglect on the other - on the right, gaudiness, incongruity, and an entire want of feeling; on the left, an indifference that is equally culpable. To do away with these extremes, the surest way is to place articles of uncx ceptionable form and finish within the reach of all; so that the eye, daily becoming more and more familiar with that which should be valued as much for its beauty as for its utility, will in time learn not only to appreciate both of these qualities, but will never willingly see them separated, even in the most ordinary articles of daily use.
