Excerpt from Figure Drawing and Composition: Being a Number of Hints for the Student and Designer Upon the Treatment of the Human Figure

The hints and suggestions which make up this book have been put together in the hope that they may assist the student and designer in their study of the human figure. That acquaintance with the form, construction, and action of the body, so valuable to the artist, and indispensable to him who has to work without models, is perhaps only to be cultivated, as the word itself suggests, by close and continual observation. Books cannot, to the art-student, stand in place of research, nor can any thing said in them be really of value to him, till he has re-discovered it himself. The proper function of such books is then to indicate where the treasure lies and what it is, thus shortening the term of studentship.
