TO THE PUBLIC.

It has been justly remarked by those who have had occasion to
consult the numerous treatises already published on the mechani-
cal arts and manufactures, that they are so deficient In derail, or
so Involved in Abstruse terms, as to render them almost unintelli-
gible, and therefpre proportionately useless to the generality of
practical readers. Tie present nark is Intended to obviate the
defects of former publications, -by treating of the different sub-
jects in a plain, clear, and comprehensive manner, suited to the
purposes of the Practical Mechanic.
The Editor has obtained the co-operation of men the most
eminent and experienced in every department of the undertaking;
and having himself devoted a long and laborious life to mechani-
cal pursuits, he trusts that this work will form the most com-
plete body of practical information ever offered to the public.
'lle following are some of the leading subjects which the work
will embrace : Architecture, House-carpentry, Joinery, Cabinet-
making, Masonry and Bricklaying, Painting and Glazing, Plum-
bery, Practical Geometry, Mensuration, Surveying, Canals,
Bridges, Roads, Mechanics in general, Mill-work, Machinery,
Clock-work, Implements of Agriculture, Turning in wood, metal,
&c. Steam Engines, Water Engines, Pump-work, Metallurgy,

ON SPRING DIE r 4

" It is In Spring (observe. a celebrated Physician) that cotiSti
tutional diseases come into action; and it, at this k itClit , people
were to adopt an alterative diet, much human misery would he
.ireveuted."
I'HE NUT of the SASSAFRAS TREE is not
.11. only very nourishing and pleasant to the palate, but ample
experience has proved it to be more efficacious in correcting OP
constiticion and purifying the blood than the Lisbon Diet Drink

Gouty, Bilious, Asthmatic, nr Consumptive Habits, will find the

its use is adopted by several eminent Physicians. •

coffee), price es. tid. per pound, by W. Wilsou, Grocer, No. 39,
