The author has embodied in this work the results of his long experience as a Professor 
of Practical Science. Since the year 1805, when he entered at an early age upon the 
arduous task of conducting the Schools of Chemistry and Manufactures in the Ander- 
sonian University, up to the present day, he has been assiduously engaged in the study 
and improvement of most of the Chemical, and many of the Mechanical Arts. Consulted 
professionally by proprietors of factories, workshops, and mines, of various descriptions, 
both in this country and abroad, concerning derangements in their operations, or defects 
in their products, he has enjoyed peculiar opportunities of becoming familiar with their 
minutest details, and has frequently had the good fortune to rectify what was amiss, or 
to supply what was wanting. Of the stores of information thus acquired, he has availed 
himself on the present occasion ; careful meanwhile to neglect no means of knowledge 
which his extensive intercourse with foreign nations affords.
