The great object Of this publication is, to place
before practical men and students such an anhoun'
of th.oretical and scientific knowledge, 10 con-
denssd form. a shall enable them to work to TIE
hest advantage. and to avoid those mistakes which

useful information thus brought together, IS almost
hexond a precedent m such works. Indeed there IS
hardly any subject within its range which IS mol

understanding, and thus learning from IL much
which il Is important for him to know.
