PREFACE.

Between those works on Art which are too costly, or tooold to be useful now,—those, which are too comprehensive orprolix—and those, which teach nothing,—it was suggested tothe Author, that an investigation and simple arrangement ofthe Principles on which he has hitherto successfully taught,with useful results, would form a Practical Treatise, calculatedto abridge the labours and shorten the road of the Student,by its available suggestions.
