study old work intelligently.
An article appeared in No. 14 of The Studio on
the embossed leather-work of Mr. H. Jacobsen.
This has attracted so much attention, and Mr.
Jacobsen has had so many inquiries about the
tools employed and method of working, that he
has been induced to prepare and offer, at a reason-
able price, a box containing a complete set of
tools and book of instructions for the use of
amateurs desirous of occupying themselves in this
delightful Art-Craft. The work is so eminently
suitable for home occupation, being light, clean,
and capable of many useful developments, that we
anticipate it will ere long become a favourite one
to the many who like to occupy their spare hours
with artistic employment. There will shortly
appear in The Studio a practical article on this
subject.

rare discrimination, and arrayed the objects in a way

Mr. A. B. Chamberlain) he has made a book of
