Excerpt from Finger Prints Simplified: A Handbook of the Science of Finger Print Identification
It must not be assumed that this book proposes to show that the science of finger prints is one of the simplest of subjects and the most easily understood. On the contrary, it is a somewhat difficult subject and one that requires conscien tious study and concentration for its mastery. Let it be remembered that this is a new science, the accomplishments and possibilities of which are only beginning to be recognized. Here it might be well to warn the student that a care less and perfunctory study will never make him an expert. And unless he is really expert in the various branches of the art, his work will be mediocre and unreliable.
