The great object of this publication is to place be-
fore practical men and students sneh niagpaunt of
theoretical and scientific knowledge, in condensed
form, shall ensble them to workto the best ad
vantage, and to avoid those mistakes which they
\ might otherwise commit. The amou1t4of useful
Information thus brought together is almost beyond
| precedent in such works Indeed, there is hardly
any subject within its range which is not treated
with sush cleareess and precision, thGt even man
of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail of UNDER
standing it, and thus learning from it much which
is Important for him to know.
From the annexed lstof the principal authors
and subjects comprised in this work, iss selfeyi-
dent that all citizens engaged in the practical aud
luseful arts. ETC., may derive essential advantages
from the possession aud Study Of this publications.;

The publishers have expended a large sum of
money 10 get original drawings of machinery in
practical use in this country, and have procured al
most every work the subject, whether published
in England, France, Germany, the most essen
tal parts of which being comprised in this Dctiona-
ry, render it perfect and comprehensive as pos
sible. The publishers have endesvoredfo use great
economy in type, so that each page of the work
tains at 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 clearness, SO that mechanic may con-
strnct accurately any machine described.
| The publishers are, in short determined, regard
less ofcost, 10 make the work complete as poss-
