Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mechanics' Magazine and Register of Inventions and Improvements, Vol. 6: July December, 1835
There has been no other period since the commencement of time, when the human mind has exhibited so astonishing an era in the progress of improvement, as it is doing at present. All knowledge of the useful arts, until within three quarters of a century, appears to be little more than mere germs from which those arts are at present springing iuto luxuriant and rapid growth. Every day is producing new and important discove ries, as well as making improvement in the discoveries of former times. It is our wish and aim, therefore, while the ingenious and inventive are making those discoveries and improvements, and the persevering are putting them into successful practice, to collect the knowledge of them from every quarter, not only of our own country, but of every other, and present them to our readers, that each one may profit by the knowledge of the whole.
