Excerpt from The Two Paths: Being Lectures on Art, and Its Application to Decoration and Manufacture, Delivered in 1858-9

The Lectures which are brought together in this volume were delivered, at different places, before audiences widely different in character, in the year 1857, 1858, and 1859. They were published in the latter year. A common thread of doctrine unites them, which is suggested by the title chosen for the volume, - the responsibility of the student "for choice, decisive and conclusive, between two modes of study, which involve ultimately the development, or deadening, of every power he possesses."
