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 10 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 Is
hardly any subject thin its range which is no,

understanding, and thus learning from IT much
which il is importrnt for him to know
From the annexed list OF the principal authors
and subject comprised in this work IL is sei-evi-
dent that all citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts ETC., may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study Of this publication
