THE fociety of the proprietors of mines and iron-works 

 in Sweden gave fuch liberal encouragement and fupport to 

 Mr. Rinmann, who has been of fo much fervice to mining in 

 Sweden, that he was enabled in the year 1772 to publifh. an 

 Introduction to the Art of Improving the Manufactory of 

 Iron and Steel; in 1782, his Hiftory of Iron, flnce tranf- 

 lated into German; and, in 1789, his large Dictionary of 

 Mining, in quarto. The fociety fo early as 1784 had en- 

 gaged him to undertake, with the afliftance of Mr. Nord- 

 wall, a fyftem of mechanics applicable to the working of 

 mines, or a theoretical and practical treatife on all the appa- 

 ratus and water-works, a knowledge of which is neceffary to 

 iron-mafters and thofe who fuperintend iron manufactories. 

 Mr. Rinmann undertook the practical part of this work 

 which we have here announced, and which comprehends 

 the following chapters: — ift, On the general conftru&ion of 

 clams or dykes, of their height and breadth, with a descrip- 

 tion of more than twelve different kinds, and the method of 

 constructing them : 2d, Of canals and cifterns : 3d, On the 

 conftru&ion of water-wheels, and particularly thofe ufed for 

 working hammers: 4th, Of the manufacturing bar iron: 

 5th, Of hammers and other apparatus for blackfmiths : 6th, 

 Of the tilting hammer, where weight is not fo much con- 

 fident as the greater frequency of the ftroke : 7th, Of rolling 

 and fplitting iron: 8th, Of wire-drawing : 9th, Of machines
