 Plans, "Work Benches, etc. Chapter IV. Anvils and Anvil Tools.

There is no book like it in the language: in fact, a work on blacksmithing has never before 

 been published in this or any other country. As the publisher has decided to offer the work 

 at a /ow price^ with a view of lar^e sales, the book is likely to find its way into the hands of 

 all good blacksmiths wherever located. It will be sent post-paid to any part of the country 

 on receipt of price, $I.OO. Address, M, T. RICHARDSON, Publisher, 84 and 86 Reade
