Excerpt from How to Read a Drawing

I also wish the student to understand that, while I have divided the different classes of drawings under different headings, this work should be studied as a whole, as failure to understand thoroughly any part of it may result in a mis understanding of it all.

The' main principles of drawing have been thoroughly explained and sufficient examples given to enable any one to understand clearly any drawing, but I want to impress upon the student that, in order to master it, he must study it carefully and conscientiously, for, in the words of a great philosopher, Nothing great is accomplished without an effort.
