Excerpt from The Mystery of the Oriental Rug, the Mystery of the Rug, the Prayer Rug: Some Advice to Purchasers of Oriental Rugs The three articles of which this monograph is composed were written for magazine publi cation, but upon due reflection the author has, instead, deemed it advisable to publish them all under one cover; first, because of the kindly reception which the public accorded his first effort, The Practical Book of Oriental Rugs; second, because of the popular demand for a low - priced book on the subject; and, finally, because these articles contain information which is found in no other book, and which should be of special interest to those who know little Of rugs and who are desirous of learning something without too much research. Those who wish to pursue the subject further would do well to read the work above referred to, while those who have already done so will find this one an interesting and useful supplement.
