First sentence: The Art of Japanning, and Decorating with various Designs, has prevailed for much of late from the  superb Cabinet, to the smallest Article of the Toilet; that it is needless to apologize for the Publication of  a Work, which seems calculated  at once to serve every Purpose of Compositions for this Use, it being scarce possible to suggest a Design, but what may be easily and  elegantly accomplished, by a well chosen Selection from the foregoing Prints. The Variety of Objects admitting almost  infinite Combinations and being likewise singly agreeable.
