Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Scientific Guide to Practical Cutting, Vol. 1: Every Style of Garment to Fit the Human Form In introducing this, my third work on cutting, I do it with renewed could deuce, looking at it from Reason's standpoint, its basis being established upon the immaculate principles of philosophy and common sense, which will at once be its best recommendation to all thinking minds, who have either studied or taken an interest in how to fit the human body in all its various forms, and also to give it that character for artistic beauty of style, and elegance in its appropriateness to the structure to be suited, which is the ambition of all artistic cutters. There are many cutters, or students of the art, who have not as yet come op to the high standard here referred to, having paid but little attention to the cause-and-effect principles of the art, a strict observance of which can alone cultivate and improve the mind in that which it is essential for it to know, and fully understand the various structures of the human form, and how best to carry out the results of those ideas necessary for its requirements. It is believed that the student in taking a strict observation of the diagrams bid down in ibis work - the great variety and artistic beauty of their execution - and leading the instructive ideas explanatory of the same, will have his mind sufficiently exorcised on scientific problems with a disposition to reduce the same to practice, as to be the initiatory step to study and future progress. The present work is based on the same principles as our late work, the "Manual," which run out over a year ago, after having gone through three editions; and at no time since it was first published has there been so great a demand for the work as during the past year. Perhaps no work of the kind, or the principles contained in it, have ever met with such universal approbation. We believe it has reached and been practiced in almost all parts of the civilized world. We have been called upon in one week to send a system to Australia on the one baud, and to the Hawaiian Islands on the other. It would be a work of supererogation for me to go into details respecting the merits of the late work. In fact, wherever it or its representatives has gone, its superiority has been duly acknowledged and appreciated. To such an extent has this been the case, that in certain cities of the West, we have been credibly informal by respectable merchant tailors, that they would not employ a cutter who did not use our system. We are in possession of hundreds of letters at this office eulogizing the principles of the work, and tendering their thanks to the author for their remarkable success. I could mention the names of thousands who are now in position, influence and wealth through the instrumentality of the ideas inculcated in the aforesaid work and their author. The demand for the work has rendered it necessary that I should set my head to work again; and I can assure my readers that it is no small business in the line of brain work.
