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 me amount Oh
useful information thus brought together, Is almost
beyond a precedent IN such works. Indeed there is
hardly any subject within its range which is moi
