HIS book had its origin in the course of three (Cantor) Lectures given before the Society of Arts in 1889; they have been amplified and added to, and further chapters have been written, treating of the very active period in printing and decorative book- illustration we have seen since that time, as well as some remarks and suggestions touching the general principles and conditions governing the design of book pages and ornaments. It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the " Ex-Libris" series, and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing.

We thank all the contributors: the follow up information on Robert Harris and William Bartholomew from two members, Diana Evans and Jill Wilson, is useful and the official report on the archaeological dig at Bourton-on-the Hill is good to have on record. Once again we find helpful work that Allan Warmington prepared. David West’s research into his Horne family history has revealed some surprising skeletons! Roger Johnson’s article on Cotswold Roofs will open our eyes as we walk down Campden High Street and I hope that readers will appreciate more of Paul Woodroffe’s fine stained glass windows through my article, which of course will be in colour when this edition is uploaded to the CCHS website in a few months’ time. The activities of CCHS and the committee are also contained in the last four pages. Please keep your news, research findings and articles coming in to me.
