Abstract
THE preface sufficiently indicates the design of the book, and the accompanying text throughout bears testimony to the realisation of that design. The authors are to be congratulated on being able to present the results of their practical experience in an eminently practical form. Nor can the diagrams, which are so liberally furnished, be over-praised. The jejune qualities so frequently apparent in books of this nature are herein totally absent. If a demurring criticism is due, it is in respect to the somewhat mechanical system of lettering advocated; preferably lettering should be introduced upon a freehand mode of treatment.
