Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Operative Mechanic, and British Machinist, Vol. 1 of 2: Being a Practical Display of the Manufactories and Mechanical Arts of the United Kingdom
In a Work of such a nature it is generally understood that extracts are justified, as the description of many things not new are requisite, and the language could not in general be improved. In such cases, however, the authority has, in general, been acknowledged, and in a way calculated to advance the honour and interest of every improver and discoverer.
