The great object Of this publication is, 10 place
before practical men and students such an amount
| of theoretical and scientific knowledge, IN con-
densed FORM as shall enable them TO work 10 the
best advantage, and to avoid those mistakes winch
| they might otherwise commit The amount oil
useful information thus brought together is almost
beyond precedent IN such works. Indeed there is
hardly any subject within its range which is not
Gated with such cleamcss and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot taii OF
understanding, and thus learning from 1t much
which it is importrnt for him to know
From the annexed list Of the principal authors
and subject comprised in tbi. work II is seli-evi-
dent that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts etc, may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study of this publication,
The following may be especially designated
Millwrights.
Mouder and Boiler Makers.
Artihccrs in Brass Copper and Tin.
Cutters, and Workers Of Steel in general.
Carpenters.
Brckmakers
Workers in Ivory, Bone, and Horn.
Civil Engineers, Railway Contssciors, and Con-
tractors for Earth Work, and Masonry Of every
description.
Architects ami Bridge Builders.
Builders. Master Mascns, and BricSlayers.
