With a foreword by FRANK BRANGWYN, R.A., and an introductory note by SELWYN IMAGE In his foreword, Mr. Frank Brangwyn, R.A., says: "That chalk or pencil is the master of all art is a truth that cannot be contradicted. The greatest pictures have lived more by their design than by their colour. "This book is written by an artist whose fine draughtsmanship, sincere observation and feeling for character, are too well-known to need any recommendation from me. "The high quality of his work proves him to be well able to help others by his teaching. "To artists and art students, and indeed, to all those who appreciate good drawing, his book should prove most useful."

BATSFORD, LTD., 94 High Holborn, London AD. IX A few Opinions of this New Book "It would be difficult to praise too highly the drawings illustrated. Mr. Borough Johnson adequately explains his methods in his letterpress, which is thoroughly instructive and illuminative."—The Connoisseur "One can discover a veritable gold mine of information in the plates which accompany the text, receiving not only how Mr. Borough Johnson commences and finishes his drawings, but how he changes his method to suit both the subject and the medium."—The Apollo "The work of Mr. Borough Johnson is so versatile that it is difficult to realise that all these finely reproduced plates are due to one inspiration."—Drawing "The text is a model of succinctness; and, taken in conjunction with the wealth of illustrations, tells one all one needs. It is like having a lengthy lesson from a master draughtsman."—Arts and Crafts Monthly A HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE on the Comparative Method. For the Student, Craftsman, and Amateur.
