The great object of this publication ls, to place
nriore practical aud students such an am III
Of iheoretIca! and scientific knowledge, in a con.
den.ed form, as shall enable them to work 10 the
best ad-anisge. and avoid those mistakes whi,h
they might Otherwise commit. The amount
useful intoInation thus brought tog, ,,her Amos,
be, oGd precedent IN such works. Indeed the
l. aIdy any sui J.ct within its range that is no
treated aIth such cearness and precision that
even a man OF the most ord,uary capacity cab
not fail OF understanding il, and thus learning
from 1t much 1t Is important for him 10 know.
