✦ Synopsis
It is doubtful if ever before so mucli was attempted in so little spncc-save, pcrhaps, in an nrticlc in some popular oncyclopsdia. In just over 100 pngcs of large print witli ample ninrgins nud many dingnnis, tlio author runs quitc lucidly n i ~d compctcntly, nnil ych disciirsivcly, through tllc physical csylauation of colour, tlic principles of colour contrast niid Iiariiiony, tlic clioicc of colour in drcss and decoration ; colour in photography, in ligliting, on motor-cnrs, in scntinieiit and in business. With all this hc still has room for a wholc-page pocin on tho Anicricnn fhg and, to redress tho balnncc of tlic ltcmisphcrcs, R dissertation on the oalling of Shakespeare's father and two quotations from \Villiam (sic) hinisclf.
Tlie chapter on pigments is little niorc than an incompleto catalogue, and only tlirce colours of coal-tar origin are included. I n short, the iiiipression loft by the book is that too little has bccn said-or possibly too niuch.
