The great object of this publication is 10 place be-
fore practical men aud students spch amount of
THEORETICAL aud scientific knowledge, in condrhsed
form, shall enable them 10 WORK to the best ad
| vantage, aud TO avoid these mistakes which they
might otherwise commit. The amount Of useful
Information thus brought together is almost beyond
precedent in such works. ladeed. there is hardly
any subject within its range which is not treated
with sush cleareess and precision, that even man

| The publishers have expended large Of
money 10 get original drawings of machinery in
practical in this country. and have procured al
most every work the subject, whether published
| in England, France, or Germany, the most essen
tial parts of which being comprised in this Dclioua
ry, render it perfect and comprehensive pos
sible. The publishers have endeavoredt to great
economy in type, so that each page of the work con-
tans 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, that mechanic may con-
stTuct accurately any machine described.
The publishers are, in short determined, regard
less Of cost, to make the work complete possi-
bIe aud il is hoped every desrous TO obtainthe
work viii procure it issued in numbers, and thus
lencoursge the enterprise.
The work Ill be issued in semi monthly num-
bers commencing in January, 1850, and will prog
ress with great regularity.
