CONCLUSION.

In writing the closing words of this book, I wish to remind my readers that I have aimed at conciseness rather than verbosity—few words to convey a large amount of knowledge.

It has been my endeavour to make every point as plain as possible. I have given special attention to the diagrams, so that they may be as full of detail as possible, and in this way make a lengthy description unnecessary.

I am positive the systems carefully worked out will produce splendid fits, for, apart from my own experience, I have the testimony of hundreds of cutters, who, in daily practice, are using this method, and this method alone, and by it achieving eminent success.

I have devoted a large portion of this book to the illustration of specialities, knowing that these are often invaluable to the cutter in practice, and in my treatment of these, I have embodied the experience of experts in each branch, so that they may be fully relied upon.
