The great object of this publication IL, to place
before practical men and students such an amount
Of theo retical and scientific knowledge, in con.
densed form, as shall enable them to work to the
best advantage, and to avoid those mistakes winch
thew 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 lis range which Is not
