The Exercises have been so simplified, as to render the art of Drawing as easy of attainment as that of Writing. As soon as children are able to write, they are also able to draw. And for the purpose of early training, in order that their ideas of Form may become correct, and the eye and hand acquire the habit of working in unison without effort, it is confidently believed that no Series of Drawing Books exists which can compare with the present.
