Excerpt from Design: An Exposition of the Principles and Practice of the Making of Patterns
That softer on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes.
Such qualities are, however, not to be obtained by rule or precept. All that rule and precept can do is to show beginners what others have found it wise to do.
The present work is an exposition of those principles which it is wise to follow in the designing of patterns. To have said much upon the designing of plain objects, or upon the adaptation of patterns to material, would have necessitated the expansion of the book beyond present possibilities.
