In the seventeenth century the young embroiderers who worked such exquisite samplers, often at a remarkably early age, were guided to a large extent by the pattern books then in use. This book is also a pattern book and displays a varied selection of designs with, in most cases, hints as to the stitch or stitches which would be most effective.\" --Preface by A.J.B.
