The great object of this publication is, to place
before practical men and students such an amount
| of theoretical and scientific knowledge, in a con-
densed form, as shall enable them to work to the
best advantage, and to avoid those mistakes which
they might otherwise commit The amount OF
useful information thus brought together, IS almost
beyond precedent In such works Indeed there Us
| hardly any subject within its range which is not

DENT that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts, etc, may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study Of this publication
The following may be especially designated:
