The great object of this publication is TO place be-
fore practical aud students such all amount OF
theoretical and scientific knowledge, in a condensed
form, shall enable them to work I" the best ad
vantage, aud to avoid these mistakes which they
might otherwise commit. The ameuni OF use ui
information thus brought together is almost beI ond
precedent in such works. Indeed. there IS hardly
any subject within its range which is moi tre;ti+d

The publishers have expended large sum of
money TO get original draw igs of machinery in
practical in this country. and have procured al
most every work on the subject, whether published
in England, France, Germany, the most essen
tia parts of whioh being comprised in this Dctiona
~. render it perfect aud comprehensive pos
sible The publishers have endeavOred to use great
economy in type, that each page Of the work
tans d least four times the number of words found
in ordinary pages of the same size This has also
secured to each plate working drawings of ample
size and cearness, SO that mechanic may con-
struct accurately any machine described.
