Over 3000 mønstre med referencer til hvor de først er set. Som forfatteren skriver, så er det jo en umulig opgave at få det gjort på nogen måde komplet, så hans håb er at andre vil fortsætte arbejdet.

Side 3: The purpose of this collection is historical, and any interests that it may claim by racial characters or charms of form are only by the way. It stands as a first outline of an index to all the decorative imaginings of man. The subject is boundless, and to wait for completion would bar any useful result.
This beginning of an arrangement of the matter will serve for sorting new material into a form in which it can be compared, registered, and consulted.
