“ IT is with some degree of pleasure I look upon this, the first Part of "The Cutters' Practical Guide to the Cutting and Making every kind of garment;" for while I have done my utmost to make the work as complete as possible, so as to be of greatest service to the cutter in daily practice, the publishers have brought it out in a style and finish which not only maintains their reputation, but excels, I think, any previous effort. ”

“ If in this I have succeeded, and so placed the means of self help within the reach of many, who, struggling amidst doubt and anxiety, are all the more eagerly seeking for light in the study of their profession, I shall be simply rewarded. ”

“ With such a work in their possession neither the inexperienced student nor the cutter in full practice should feel any difficulty in producing any of the garments treated and illustrated in this work. ”
