The publishers have expended a large sum q
money 10 get original drawings of machinery il
practical use in this country, and have procured al
most every work the subject, whether published
| ii England, France, Germany, the most essen
tia parts Of whoi being comprised Ia this Dctiona
~. Re- nder il as perfect and conpl ehensbIe pos
sihle. The publishers have Favored TO use grea
economy IN type, that each page Of the work con
at least four times the number Of words fount
ia ordinary pages of the same size. This has alst
secured to each plate working drawings of ample
size ami cIearness, SO that mechanic may con
sruct accurately any machine described.
The publishers are, in short determined, regard
less oi cost, To make the work complete posi-
bile; and hoped every desirous 20 obtain III,
work will procure ii as issued in numbers, aud thu.
encourage the enterprise.
The work will be issued in semi monthly num-
hers, commencing in January, 1850, and will prog
ress with great regularity.
The whole work will be published in 40 numbers
