almost every work on the subject, whether pnb-

Dictionary, render it as perfect and comprehen-
sive as possible. The publishers have endeavored
to use great economy in type, so that each page OF
the work contains at least four times the number
Of words found in ordinary pages of tho same size.
This has also secured to each plate working draw-
ngs of ample size and clearness, so that Mechanic
may construct accurately any machine described.

less Of cost, to make the work as complete as pos
sible and it is hoped every DESTROYS TO obtain

gress with great regularity.
