More DescriptionA review from The Critic, Vol. 27, 1897:
A publication of a really serious and valuable study of the House Beautiful is Mr. Aldam Heaton's book "Beauty and Art" - a volume which contains the substance of a series of its author's lectures delivered during the last ten years upon house decoration. Mr. Heaton is known to most Londoners of taste as one of the leading authorities upon beauty in the home. His views are not always identical with those of William Morris, but his object has been practically the same, and all who have seen his beautiful show-room, or his still more beautiful house in Bloomsbury, have appreciated how much he has done in the cause of artistic furnishing. His book sets forth lucidly, and with abundant good humor, the principles which he has sought to follow, and no householder in England or America can fail to profit by reading it. To many, indeed, it may well prove a liberal education.
