There is no difficulty in starting a revolutionary movement. Any of the proposed forms of lasts can be obtained from the last-makers of the large cities—all but the Eureka very readily—and often the shoemaker himself, if ingenious, can provide them for individual feet _by altering some of those now in use_. This is not so very difficult when the last has sufficient thickness at the toe. At the inside, from the ball forward, it may be shaved or rasped off enough to give a plane surface half an inch or more in width, a shoulder being cut at the commencement near the ball. Successive layers of firm, solid sole-leather are then pegged or nailed very strongly to the wood without splitting it, each thickness separately, to make the work more firm, until enough are on to bring the corner out where it should be, when they are rasped into the form required. Nails must not be driven in the outside pieces. The opposite side of the toe may be narrowed, curved, and thinned to give the whole the proper shape. There is no reason why those persons who are capable of appreciating the doctrine of this treatise should not set an example worthy of imitation; and as the abuses complained of are so very common, it is quite probable they might soon find themselves in the company of a large number. Ultimately, it is expected that something not less perfect than the form last proposed, and having all the qualities desirable in a model shoe, will be universally adopted. There will still remain to be discovered a mode of covering the foot which will secure to it all its natural freedom. What this will be it is not easy, just now, to tell. Possibly it may take the peculiarity of the glove, and provide separate apartments for each of the toes, becoming thus a kind of foot-glove, with a flexible sole, separated between the toes, and which will allow them to bend or spread, and the whole foot to lengthen or contract without hindrance whenever occasion may require. It will be an article of luxury, rather than otherwise, and there is no prospect of its immediate production. Yet such an one cannot, without difficulty, perhaps, be made sufficiently thick to be a good protection against dampness and the coldest weather. Some compromise, with the existing style of boot will become necessary, though a shape better adapted to the comfort of the toes may be given to the forward part of it, as by the time it is made, the cramping, narrow-toed boot will be out of favour; and this brings us again to the Eureka as the most appropriate form. * * * * *
