INTRODUCTION
The object of the present work is clearly announced in its title.
It is to collect within a small compass the instructions of
experimental knowledge upon a great variety of subjects which relate
to the present interests of man. It contains above five hundred
genuine and practical receipts, which have been compiled by the
publisher with extreme difficulty and expense. A reference to
the list of subjects which the work contains, will show that the
publisher's researches have been extensive, while a comparison of
the work with others of the same general character evinces patient
labour, and cannot fail to give it pre-eminence.
