Сторінка 420 - From Abraham to David The Story of their Country and Times. By HENRY A. HARPER, Author of ' The Bible and Modern Discoveries,' and Member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund. This book is intended as a help to the better understanding of the wonderful story of the Old Testament. The period contained in it comprises some of the most interesting and critical times of Jewish history. CONTENTS.— The Call and Life of Abram— The Cities of the Plain — The Life of Joseph —...
Сторінка 4 - The true root and basis of all Art lies in the handicrafts. If there is no room or chance of recognition for really artistic power and feeling in design and craftsmanship — if Art is not...
Сторінка 34 - Embroidery : of the design for which it must be said that one of its aims should be the exhibition of beautiful material. Furthermore, it is not worth doing unless it is either very copious and rich, or very delicate, or both. For such an art nothing patchy or scrappy, or half-starved, should be done...

Сторінка 204 - All shades of blue can be got by this means, from the pale "watchet," as our forefathers called it, up to the blue which the eighteenthcentury French dyers called " Bleu d'enfer." Navy Blue is the politer name for it to-day in England. I must add that, though this seems an easy process, the setting of the blue-vat is a ticklish job, and requires, I should say, more experience than any other dyeing process. The brown dyes, walnut and catechu, need no mordant, and are substantive dyes; some of the...

Сторінка 14 - Handicraft, influences. It asserts, moreover, the value of the practice of handicraft as a good training for the faculties, and as a most valuable counteraction to that overstraining of purely mental effort under the fierce competitive conditions of the day ; apart from the very wholesome and real pleasure in the fashioning of a thing with claims to art and beauty, the struggle with and triumph over the stubborn technical necessities which refuse to be gainsaid.
