The object of my course of Cantor Lectures was to endeavour to lead the public to think more about the artistic furnishing of their houses, to show that good art could be combined with comfort and moderate expense, and that the better and more artistic decora tion and furniture of modern houses could be combined with fitness, comfort, and common-sense, without fol lowing the clap-trap conventionalities and senseless eccentricities, which have gone out to the world under the grossly mistaken, or rather misapplied, denomina tion of high art.'
