Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Curve Tracing

I do not much like the idea of writing a preface, but I feel myself obliged to say a few words on the publication of what I have called a treatise, the term being very likely a misnomer.

Although my subject is Curve-tracing and not Curves, I am aware that some complete branches of this art are not alluded to at all.
