PREFACE TO THE SEVENTEENTH EDITION.
From time immemorial the domestic hearth has been the theme of
optimists and poets, who have lavished on it the most endearing
words, and have associated it with their most delightful thoughts.
The fireplace has always been, and always will be, the happiest
rallying-place of the family. It has been aptly called the "sun in the
house," and its ruddy glow, its sociable warmth, and cheering qualities
have not been lost sight of in the development of æsthetic art as
applied to home decoration during recent years, and the chimney-piece
has been made, with most excellent results, the central part of the
decorative scheme. To all home-builders there comes the thought,
"We must have at least one or two open fireplaces." How natural the
thought, and what great pleasures in even the anticipation.
As to the choice of materials for the Fireplace Mantel, nothing has
ever been used that meets all requirements so completely as our
Ornamental Unglazed Brick. The essential idea of a fireplace is "Brick"
from beginning to end, and the practice of using a brick facing with a
wooden mantel around it (a practice which is now passing by) has only
been a sort of makeshift, employed because Ornamental Brick of new and
artistic patterns were not obtainable, our Company being the first
to make them. There is always so much woodwork in a room, anyway, so
why overcrowd the eye with a "mantelful" more? The glazed tiles which
were formerly used in mantels were found to have such a cold, hard,
and glassy look that they have been relegated to bathrooms, elevator
shafts, sanitary uses, etc., to such an extent that few people now care
to consider their use about the fireside.
Our Brick Mantels are the best kind to have. The bricks are patterned
after the most artistic Greek and Renaissance designs, and the
appearance of them when set in mantels is that of carved work. The
joints between the courses of brick serve to break up any tendency to a
heavy or monumental effect, and the general appearance of our mantels
is exceedingly soft, rich, and harmonious. They have a pleasing effect
which the eye never tires of. They have the stamp of character, and
their simplicity and modest elegance lend a particular charm to the
surroundings.
The designs in this book were all prepared by a well-known Boston
architect whose extended European travel rendered him peculiarly fitted
for the work, and the designs embody many of the best ideas of the
best brickwork of England and the Continent. Some of the designs are
purposely shown in the architect's original pen-and-ink drawings, while
the others are shown as photographs furnished by our customers. We
make the brick in six colors; viz., red, cream, buff, pink, brown, and
gray: thus giving you the choice of a color which will harmonize with
or contrast properly with any scheme of surrounding decoration. The
sizes of many of the designs can be altered to fit a required space.
In shipping the brick, we pack them carefully in sawdust, in barrels,
and with every order we furnish an architect's scale drawing and
directions, and any intelligent brick-mason can easily set the mantels
up.
The prices given in this book are net, and include packing and delivery
to cars or steamer at Boston. In comparing prices of other kinds of
mantels with our prices, please bear in mind that to the other prices
you must add the expense of the brick or other material for the side
linings, the back, the under-fire, and the hearth, while our prices
include all these. Ours are far better than any other kinds, but still
they don't cost any more.
Our mantels are suitable for any kind of a room, the selection
depending upon the size, the color, the amount of ornamentation, etc.
They are substantial and durable, and look just as well in after years
as when new. It is folly to build a house and put in articles that are
passing out of use. The more permanent furnishings should be of the
newest designs. That means that the Fireplace Mantels should be of our
Ornamental Brick. No other kind combines so many good, practical, and
artistic features. Of all kinds, ours are the most unique, the fittest,
and the best.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation
Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.
The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.
Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org
This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
