Excerpt from A Description of the Work of the Guild of Handicraft: Campden, Glos., And 16, Brook Street, Bond Street, WThe Guild seeks not alone to set a higher standard of craftsmanship, but at the same time, and in so doing, to protect the status of the craftsman. To this end it endeavours to steer a mean between the independence of the artist which is individualistic and often parasitical - and the trade shop, where the workman is bound to purely commercial and antiquated traditions, and has, as a rule, neither stake in the business nor any interest beyond his weekly wage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
