A 1903 textbook for design students on the anatomy, planning and evolution of repeating ornament, written as a replacement for the author's earlier "Anatomy of Pattern". It builds from geometric scaffoldings (square, triangle, octagon, circle) to drop repeats, smaller repeats, turnovers and turn-rounds, then covers how manufacturing technique shapes pattern (block printing, weaving, damask, carpets), design method, proving a pattern, colour, borders, non-repeating pattern and the invention of pattern. It is illustrated with several hundred line diagrams and examples drawn from historic silks, velvets, tiles, wall-papers and Oriental ornament.
