\_Extract8 from the Author^ s Preface.'] 

 Those who consult this book must remember that it is not a book of recipes or prescriptions, but 

 for the most part a work of facts and figures— assured analysis and demonstrations, about which there 

 can be no dispute. The design was to produce a work of substantial and enduring value, and of universal 

 application and use. * * ♦ To sum up, then, this book is offered as containing more that has been 

 proven by long use to be of value, more that is most necessary for every fanner and mechanic to know, 

 and more of promising novelty, than any other that has ever been presented to the farmers and mechanics 

 of America. It is complete in every particular in which it is possible for such a book to be complete ; 

 and, in addition to this, it is sufficiently suggestive in many other respects to induce its readers to read 

 more, to think more, to experiment more, and to become more intelligent and more successful in the 

 management of their business, as well as really happier and wiser men.
