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 adv antage, and to avoid those mistakes which
they might otherwise commit The amount OF
| useful information thus brought together is almost
bey0nd precedent In such works. Indeed there IS
| hardly any subject within its range which IS not
Gated with such clearness and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot iall Of
understanding, and thus learning IRON IL much
which il is important for him to know

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:
Millwrghts.
Moulder and Boiler Makers.
Arti6cers 10 Brass, Copper, and Tin.
