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
thev ught 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
eated with such clearness and precision, thateyen
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail OF
understanding, and thus learning from il much
which it is importrnt for him to know.
From the annexed list Of the principal authors
and subject comprised in this work it is seli-evi-
dcnt that ali citizens engaged in the practical and
useful arts, ETC., may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study Of this publication
Tho following may be especially designated;
Millwriglts.
MouIder and Boiler Makers.
Artificers 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 oil every
description.
