Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Workshop Receipts, for the Use of Manufacturers, Mechanics, and Scientific Amateurs
As far as possible subjects at all allied in character, either in constitution or mode of working, have been grouped together; and in general, the main subject is indicated by a heading in bold clarendon type, branch-subjects by small capitals, and details by italics. The difficulty, however, of obtaining certain information just when it was wanted, has prevented the adoption of anything like an alphabetical or other concatenated arrange ment of the subject matter; it is believed that no inconvenience will arise from this cause, as the index is very comprehensive.
Care has been exercised in cases where the practical opera tion connected with a receipt has been apart from the writer's experience, to have it verified by authority, and the aim through out has been to render Workshop Receipts' a reliable hand book for all interested in Technological pursuits.
