William Burges 
Art Applied to Industry 
A Series of Lectures

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Some three years ago Dr. Cantor, a Dane by birth, but an Army Surgeon in the anglo-indian service, died in India, leaving his property to be divided between the Society of Arts and Wellington College. Last year the Society of Arts devoted the proceeds of their portion of the bequest to three courses of Lectures, viz. One on International Law, by G. W. Hastings, Esq., barrister-at-law; another on Chemistry applied to the Arts, by Dr. Crace Calvert, and a third on Art applied to Industry. The Lectures comprised in this latter course form the greater portion of the present work; the additions consisting of two other Lectures upon the same subject, and which were read respectively at the Architectural Association and at the South Kensington Museum.
