Excerpt from The Carpet-Dealer's Guide: A Manual of Practical Information on the Art of Measuring Rooms and Cutting Carpets, Including Various Topics of Interest to All Carpet-Dealers

This work will be found specially valuable, we believe, to any one who is about to learn a trade in which geometry is an underlying principle. He will find in its pages an otherwise dry and barren task made interesting and attractive. The problems, Often accompanied by diagrams, are stated with such clear ness and simplicity that the youth's attention is prop erly incited, and the study is a welcome one. Having acquired the principles thus taught, and become fitted for his business, his future labor will be attended with a feeling of personal pleasure, without which good results are seldom attained.
