Excerpt from Practical Pattern Making: A Thoroughly Practical Work on the Art of Making Patterns, Written by a Pattern-Maker With Thirty Years' Experience

The specific examples, which could easily be increased in number, there being no lack of material, if the size of the work did not restrict their number to the allotted space, have been selected with the purpose of making the ones given of as great scope as possible, that they may be of wider application; thus making this part cover a larger field of pattern work.

All technical books must necessarily be only amore or less incomplete record of results attained by the efforts of the individual in the line of work or study to which' the book is devoted. It is obviously impossible to make any such record entirely complete in a single volume; and in selecting the material for a book of this kind, much that is desirable must be discarded, retaining only the best, or that which seems, in the judgment of the author, to be of the greatest benefit to the average trades man.
