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
,hey might otherwise commit The amount oi
useful information thus brought together, is almost
bevond pree edept IN such works. Indeed there Is
hardly any subject within its range,which Is mol
eated with such cIenTness and precision thai even

understanding, and thus learning from 1t much
which il is important for him to kLow.
! From The annexed list of the principal authors
md subject comprised in This work II is self-evI-
deaf, that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts ETC.. may derive essential advantages
from the DO session study Of this publication,
The following m be especially designated;
| Miwrigh,s.
Noulder and Boiler Makers.
| Artifccrs in Brass, Copper and Tin.
Cutters, and Workers OF Steel in general.
