In this book i have attempted to gather and arrange such facts as should be known to men of cultivation interested in the art of engraving wood. I have, therefor, disregarded such matters as seems to belong rather to descriptive bibliography, and have treated wood-engraving, in its principal works, as a reflection of the life of men an an illustration of successive phases of civilization."-- preface by George E. Woodberry. Includes index.
