Excerpt from Oriental Rugs Out of the years spent in the work little time has been devoted to the fanciful or imaginative side of the subject. Its poesy and romance have been in a measure accepted as corollaries, assumed as among the reasons for the book's existence, and, therefore, perhaps neglected in the presenta tion. To those who have already come under the spell of the Eastern weavings this will not be felt as a lack. What of color has been distributed through these pages is of more moment to those who are still groping in the dark belief that rugs are - merely rugs. If too little of tingent has been employed, it is because the fabrics themselves, properly understood, provide it in plenty - far better than can any vocabulary or any thesaurus of poetic imagery. If foundation shall here have been laid for that understanding, the work will have been well done, and the worker will be content.
