We purpose to collect and chronicle all news affecting these industries. We also hope, through the aid afford us by able writers, to guide the employers and teach the toilers, not in a mere utilitarian spirit, but with a view to the dissemination of technical knowledge and the cultivation of artistic excellence" ("A Few Prefatory Words," vol. 1, no 1, 1879, p.1)
