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 taem 70 work to the
best advantage, and 10 avoid those mistakes winch
they might otherwise commit The amount oil
useful information thus brought together, Is almost
beyond a precedent IN such works. Indeed there rs
hardly any subject within its range which is not
Gated with such clearness and precision that even
man Of the most ordinary capacity cannot tail OF
