If he was the inventor of a remarkably calculable <i>facture</i>, a calculation that never fails is in its way a grace of the first order, and there are things in this special appearance of perfection of practice that make him the forerunner of a mighty and more modern race. More than any of the early painters who strongly charm, you may take all his measure from a single specimen.
And centuries passed in this using, and the world was flooded with all that was beautiful, until there arose a new class, who discovered the cheap, and foresaw a fortune in the facture of the sham. Then sprang into existence the tawdry, the common, the gewgaw.
'Why, says be, 'the facture of wooden nutmegs; that's a cap sheef that bangs the bush its a real Yankee patent invention. With that all the gentlemen set up a laugh, you might have heard away down to Sandy Hook and the General gig gobbled like a great turkey cock, the half nigger, half alligator like looking villain as he is. I tell you what, Mr.
As a facture, a creation made to the mind of the creator, The Patriot was Banneker's own. True, Marrineal reserved full control.

The reply to this answer is that we have hardly reached a degree of truth to life which renders it pertinent and probably never will. Certainly there might be a noticeable fault if all the dresses of ladies of different families obviously showed the design and facture of one modiste. This could easily be avoided without prejudice to the point of harmony in colour and congruity of line.
To the prima ballerina the dancing is more important than the dance, to the actors the playing than the play, to many painters the facture than the picture, and so on. Music has been the main sufferer, particularly on the vocal side, and certain kinds of opera have been buried under the vocal acrobatics of the singers.
