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 OF
useful information thus brought together, Is almost
beyond a precedent IN such works. Indeed there Is
hardly any subject within its range which IS not
eated with such clearness and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot iail oi
understanding, and thus learning IRON IL much
which il is important for him to know.
