The great object of this publication is, to place
before practical men and students such an amount
of theoretical and scientific knowledge, IN con-
densed form, as shall enable them to work to the
best advantage and to avoid those mistakes which
they might otherwise commit The amount oi
useful information thus brought together, is almost
beyond precedent In such works. Indeed there IS
| hardly any subject within its range which Is mol
