'The new magazine is a sumptuous folio, and the greater part of the contents consists of loose plates, very beautiful and carefully executed specimens of colour printing, representing various examples of the decorative art of a nation of inborn decorators. The letterpress, which is to be contributed by Mr. S. Bing, Mr. Marcus Huish, and other competent authorities, is at once descriptive and expository, and the new venture, for which we hope all success, will be not merely a storehouse of beautiful things, but an instructive guide to the noble art product with which it deals.'-MANCHESTER EXAMINER. 'The plates are good and useful, the blocks in the text are commendable, and the price is reasonable.'-QUEEN.
