Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lettering for Draftsmen, Engineers and Students: A Practical System of Freehand Lettering for Working Drawings
IN looking over the books on lettering, which have come under the writer's notice, he has found, that while doing full justice to the principle of ornamentation and the theories governing the shaping of each letter, no author has as yet attempted to treat lettering from a purely practical point of view. The need of a practical work on lettering, however, has been and is daily experienced by many draftsmen, and in the following pages the writer has endeavored to set forth the proper methods of forming purely free-hand lettering in a simple, easily acquired way, giving, at the same time, the proper safeguards against the errors most commonly committed. The letters exhibited are actual free-hand work and can readily be copied. In this respect the writer has made a radical departure from works of a similar charac ter which generally give ornate, carefully engraved alphabets, being of little more use to the average draftsman than ordinary printed type, i. E., they can only be copied with a great sacrifice of time and patience. The whole system out lined is the result of the writer's experience during years of practice on the staff of a leading technical journal and is in tended to be a thoroughly practical guide for doing the best class of work in the shortest possible time.

Excerpt from Lettering for Draftsmen, Engineers and Students: A Practical System of Freehand Lettering for Working Drawings
N the system of lettering no attempt has been made to imitate any special form of printed alphabet, and for all ornate and elaborate lettering the draftsman is referred to some one of the many published collections of this character. What is here intended is to illustrate and describe a type of lettering that looks well upon working drawings; is reduced to its simplest form one that is rapidly made and is clear and distinct under almost any reduction by photography. It is, in fact, especially designed for photo-reproduction. With the purpose of fairly treating the subject, the lettering here illustrated has been reproduced without any attempt at touching up or cleaning; it is actual freehand work, such as should be used in general practice. The ordinary slanting and, further on, the upright lettering are described in a somewhat detailed manner.
