Excerpt from The Art of Garnishing Churches at Christmas: And Other Festivals The following pages are intended to serve as a plain practical compendium of the Art of Garnishing Churches at Christmas and other Festivals. The principles of the art are briefly discussed, and the rules for applying them are given so fully that they will, it is hoped, suffice for the guidance of the most inexperienced amateurs. The subject has been considered solely in its æsthetical aspects. A great diversity of opinion prevails as to the proper limits of Ecclesiastical Decoration, but the Author has entirely abstained from entering into that controversy. He has contented himself with giving designs and methods, varying widely in character, and suitable, some to the most elaborately, and some to the most simply, decorated edifices. Every available treatise relating to the present and allied subjects has been considered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
