The great object Of this publication is to place be-
fore practical men and students snch amount of
theoretical and scientific knowledge, in a condensed
formu shall enable them to work o the best ad-
vantage, and to avoid those mistakes which they
might otherwise commit. The amount Of 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 cieareess and precision, that even a man
of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail of under-
standing il. and thus learning from it much which
is important for him to know.

dent that all citizens engaged in the practical and

The publishers have expended a large sum of
meney 10 get original drawings of machinery IN
practical use in this country, and have procured al
most every work on the subject, whether published
in England, France, or Germany, the most essen. I
ta parts of which being comprised in this Dictiona
~, render it perfect and comprehensive as pos
sible. publishers have endeavored to use great
sconomy in type, that each page of the work con-
ains at least four times the number of words found
in ordinary pages of the same size This has also
'scured to each plate working drawings of ample |
size and clearness, so that mechanic may con-
5truct accurately any machine described
The publishers are, in short determined, regard
ess Of cost TO make the work as complete as possi
'le and tits hoped every dssirous obtain the
work will procure il as issued in numbers, and thus
encourage the enterprise.
The work will be issued in semi monthly num-
