Excerpt from Divisional and Exact Measurement Systems for Garment Cutting

The first print of my System, or treatise on Garment Cutting being exhausted, its popularity in the profession and the continued demand for the work, has impelled me to produce this new and revised edition.

If I were to let this opportunity pass without noticing the very large sale and wide circulation of my first publication, and heartily thanking the very many appreciative patrons in the profession, who have purchased, read and manifested in various ways their approbation of the ideas advanced and teachings inculcated; I would in truth be more callons to fair treatment, and less appreciative and generously disposed than I desire to appear to be. The countless testimonials and flattering words that I have received from artists in the trade, from all over our great country, and a majority of them, coming from masters in the profession, have done more to stimulate me to this undertaking, this second effort in authorship, than the pecuniary reward fore-shadowed.

In the preparation of this work I have not found it necessary to alter or change materially any of the rules or teachings set forth in the first volume; only to enlarge the scope, to add to its comprehensiveness. I have, I think, founded my system, or combination of systems on a scientific basis, presenting the methods and principles to be followed, in as clear and practicable a form as possible, shorn of every thing that would perjilex or confuse the student of average intelligence. It will be found to be elegantly and accurately illustrated by nearly half an hundred carefully and artisticall prepared diagrams. These diagrams are produced with a view to aid in the cutting of every known style of body-coats, surtouts, over-sacks, trousers of every style, ladies riding habits; in fact every style of garment manufactured by the trade. Though comprehending all this interesting and useful knowledge, the work will not be considered bulky or verbose in any respect.

With these few observations, fully sensible of the responsibility assumed, in scattering far and wide, ideas and teachings which will be closely analyzed and criticised by the learned, and novices in the Art of Cutting.
