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 enabl- them to work to the
best advantage, and TO avoid those mistakes which
,hey might otherwise commit The amount OF
useful information thus brought together, IS almost
beyond recedent IN such works Indeed there IS
hardly any subject within its range which is not
Gated with such cleamcss and precision, that even

understanding, and thus learning from 1t much
which il is important FOR him to know.
| From the annexed list of the principal authors
and subject comprised in this work it IS self-evi-
dent, that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts etc., may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study OF tins Publication'
The following my be especially designated:
Millwrights.
Mouider and Boiler Makers.
Artifcers in Brass, Copper and Tin.
