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 is
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;
Millwrghts.
Mouldcr and Boiler Makers.
Artifcers in Brass, Copper. and Tin.
Cutters, and Workers OF Steel in general.
Carpenters.
Brckmakers
Workers in Ivory, Bone, and Horn.
