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 when
they might otherwise commit The amount OF
useful information thus brought together, IS almost
beyond precedent IN such works Indeed there IS
hardly any subject within its range which is not
Gated with such cearness 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-ev'-
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:
Milwrights. .
Moulder and Boiler Makers.
Artifcers in Brass, Copper, and Tin
Carpenters.
Brickmakers of
Workers in Ivory, Bone, and Horn.
Civil Engine ers, Railway Contractors, and Con-
| tractors for Earth Work, and Masonry of every
