AUTHOR OP " ENGINEER'S AND MECHANIC'S COMPANION," 

 ENGINEER'S POCKET TABLE BOOK, etc., etc. 



Scarcely is it possible to add to the recommendations of the above 

 book, more than to give its title page. Every one who is engaged in 

 buying, selling, measuring or inspecting Lumber of any kind, will at 

 once appreciate a work of this kind. No pains or expense has been 

 spared in revising and enlarging this edition, to make it in every re- 

 spect convenient and accurate. 



The Log Table was computed by 

 drawing Diagrams, as shown by the 

 cut, for each and every log, from 12 

 to 44 inches in diameter, and the 

 width of each board taken, after 

 taking off the wane edge. The sum 

 total of each board constitutes the 

 amount each log will give, and if 

 there can be any dependence plac- 

 ed upon such strictly mathematical 

 accuracy, no one will hesitate for a 

 moment to abide the results here 

 given, as the method adopted by 

 the author can result in nothing else 

 than strict honesty and mathemat- 

 ical accuracy, to the parties interested. 



The best evidence of the usefulness and popularity of this book is 

 the rapid and extensive sale of over 75,000 in a very short time, while 

 the sale is constantly increasing. We do not hesitate to say that no 

 book of its size and price contains more useful or correct tables. 



In all new and lumber countries the book will be found very con- 

 venient, as it comprises much that is useful for the Farmer, Mechanic, 

 and business man. 



ORDERS SOLICITED, from Agents, Booksellers, and others, to whom a 

 liberal discount will be made. J^~ Price 25 cents. FIVE COPIES sent to one 

 address for ONE DOLLAR, postage paid. The books can be had of Booksellers
