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 adv sntage, and to avoid those mistakes which
they might otherwise commit The amount OF
useful information thus brought together, almost
beyond precedent IN such works. Indeed there is
hardly any subject within its range which is not
eated with such cearness and precision, that even
man Of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail OF
understanding, and thus learning from IT much
which il is important for him to know.

and subject comprised in This work Il Is self-evi-
deu that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts, etc, may derive essential advantages
