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 advantage, and to avoid those mistakes which
they might otherwise commit The amount OF
useful information thus brought together, is almost
beyond a precedent IN such works. Indeed there IS
hardly any subject within its range which IS mol
Gated with such clearness and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail OF
understanding and thus learning from IT much
which it is important for him to know.
From the annexed list Of the principal authors
and subject comprised in this work il is sef-evi-
dent that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts, etc, may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study Of this publications.
The following may be especially designated
Millwrights.
Mouder and Boiler Makers.
Artihcers in Brass, Copper. and Tin.
Cutters, and Workers OF Steel in general.
Carpenters.
Brickmakers
Workers in Ivory, Bone, and Horn.
Civil Engineers, Railway Contractors, and Con-
tractors for Earth Work, and Masonry OF every
description.
Architects AMI Bridge Builders.
