The great object Of this publication is to place be-
fore practical men and students such amount Of
theoretical and scientific knowledge, in condensed
form, shall enable them to work to the best ad-
vantage, and to avoid these mistakes which they
information thus brought togetheris almost beyond
precedent in such works. Indeed, there is hardly
any subject within its range which is not treated
with susl eleaFeess and precision, thGt even man
of The most ordinary capacity cannot fail of UNDER
standing it, aud thus learning from it much which
is important for him TO know.

The publishers have expanded large sum O
money 10 get original drawings of machinery il
practical in this country, and have procured al
most every work the subject, whether pubiishe
in England, France, or Germany, the most essen
tial parts of which being comprised in this Dictiona
ry, render it as perfect and cOmpi ehensble pos
sible. The publishers have eDdea voredto use gres
economy in y pc, that each page of the work con
tans at least four times the number Of words foun
in ordinary pages of the same size. This has ais
secured TO each plate working drawings of amPl
size and cIearness, so that mechanic may con
struct accurately any machine described.
| The publishers are, in short determined, req ard
less OF cost. to make the work complete posi-
BILE; and it is hoped every desirous to obtain III
work will procure il issued in numbers, and thu
