Book excerpt: Excerpt from Devereaux's Actual Measure System: The Science and Geometry of Dress Progress and improvement characterize every art and science, and within the past few years the science of drafting has received many important additions and improvements. I have had an experience of several years in teaching drafting with a tape line, and practical knowledge in fitting the various forms of ladies, which has enabled me to make many valuable discoveries in actual measure. I do not claim that this system is perfect, for perfection is impossible. I have spared no effort to present a practical, scientific, comprehensive and complete system. In the preparation of this system, it has been my aim to combine and present, in a harmonious whole, all of the modern improvements, as well as to introduce a more perfect method, and more practical operations not found in other systems. In short, to present the subject more as a science than an art. I am aware that however valuable the science of drafting may be, it has by no means been perfect, if indeed it could be said to exist at all. It is only within a few years that the true principles on which this science rests, have been suggested and confirmed. It affords me great pleasure to be able to announce to my former scholars, and the public, the continued success of my Actual Measure System. From its inception to the present time, it has steadily grown in the confidence of the public. To merit and maintain this confidence, it has become necessary for me to introduce a system of drafting, that would be at once practical and theoretical. This system will be acknowledged by all as one of marked superiority, and will be greatly welcomed by the large number of persons who are desirous of acquiring a more thorough knowledge of the science of drafting.
