Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Ironwork of the Xviith and XVIII Centuries: An Historical Analytical Account of the Development of Exterior Smithcraft
The intention of writing a history of the subject in one form or another had been in my mind for many years, and when I was definitely asked by Messrs. Batsford to undertake the task I gladly accepted it and at once set seriously to work upon it. During the course of many years' practical work and study I had accumulated a great store of material in the shape of illustrations of ironwork.
