The great object Of this publication is to place be-
fore practical men and students sneh amount of
Theoretical and scientific knowledge, in condensed
ehaIla I'M hast SD
vantage, aud 10 avoid these 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

The publishers have expended large sum o
meneylo get original drawings of machinery il
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
ta parts of which being comprised in this Dictiona
ry, render it as perfect aud COMP ehensble pos
sible. The publishers have endeavoredto to use grea
economy 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 asc
secured to each plate working drawings of ample
size and cleaFness, so that mechanic may con
struct accurately any machine described.
The publishers are. in short determined, regard
less OF cost. TO make the work complete posi-
BILE; and it is hoped every desirous 10 obtain the
work will procure it issued in numbers, and thui
| encourage the enterprise.
The work i'll be issued in semi-monthly num-
bers, commencing in January, 1850, and will prog
