Tie 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
Gated with such cearness and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail OF
understanding, and thus learning from it much
which it is important for him to know.
From the annexed list Of the principal author.
and subject comprised in this work it is self-evi
dent, that all citizens engaged in the practical ant
useful arts etc., may derive essential advantages
from the possession and study Of this publicat alton
