The purpose of the editors of this work, and its
tendency, set forth in the remark of philoso-
pher quoted by the editors in their preface and Of
which they say that, although il concerns but one
branch ofscence, it yet applies with equal force to
all its branches. Nothing" says Bacon, sis of
greater efficacy in procuring stock Of new and
useful inventions than to have the experiments of
numerous mechanic arts known to a single person
to few who might mutually improve each other
by conversation that, by this translation of
periments, arts might mutually warm and light
up each other, as il were, by an intermingling of
rays"
The volume before us is of the second edition. de-
manded SO soon by the rapid sale of the first; and
contains many additions and improvements OF
the former, il said that il in no particular
inferior to the English Yearbook, from which the
idea of its compilation was borrowed. We are as
sured also by the editors that nothing has been
inserted that they have not obtained upon good au-
thority; and we can give our own testimony TO the
fact that the materials obtained, from whatever
source, have been skilfully and judicously elabo-
rated. more convenient book Of constant refer
cannot be obtained, adapted it is To the uses
Of persons in all the pursuits Of life.
For the copy we are perusing indebted TO
the politeness Of Messrs. Taylor sIaury, by whom
