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
hest advantage, and to avoid those mistakes which
tbey might otherwise commit The amount Of
useful information thus brought together, is almost
bexond a precedent IN such works. Indeed there is
hardly any subject within its range which is moi
Gated with such clearncss and precision, that even
man of the most ordinary capacity cannot fail o.
uJace,.nd;nr and Tins learning from 1t much
