Excerpt from Rousseau's House and Decorative Painter

In presenting this little work to the public, the writer has aimed to embrace in as limited a space as possible, only such instruction as would most benefit and interest the learner, at the same time avoiding all unnecessary technical terms that would tend to confuse and lead him into vague uncertainties. The rules to be found in the following pages, both theoretical and practical, are delineated in a clear, concise and comprehensive manner, together with a synopsis of the various rules and methods for the manipulation of colors, &c., , pertaining to the painter's art.
