Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mechanics' Magazine, 1825, Vol. 3
Amongst other things, we have taught them to combine, though not for the small purposes which have often (we say not always) marked the combinations of Mechanics, but for that more general and noble purpose - the acquisition of knowledge, and the action and reaction of intellect. It gives us pleasure to think that this good seed, of which we, in our humble way, were among the first (if, indeed, not the very first) to sow, is diffused throughout the country, and springing up with as much strength and vigour as the best friends of the best interests of mankind can desire.
