"We unhesitatingly commend the work to those engaged in or interested in mechanical or scientific pursuits, as eminently worthy of their examination and study."-Troy Budget.

'Young mechanics ought to keep posted up in theoretical as well as practical knowledge, and this work will show them just how they stand."-Roxbury Advertiser.

"We take it to be just the work that scores and hundreds of our intelligent mechanics have desired to possess. So ample are its descriptions, and so full and minute its specifications, that it seems to us that any mechanic might construct any machine it describes, on the strength of its engravings and instructions."-Commercial Advertiser.

"All interested in mechanics should avail themselves of its advantages."-Schuylkill Journal. "A work of extensive practical utility and great importance and value to the rapidly increasing interests of the country.

"We are sure we are doing the mechanics of Norwich and other parts of Connecticut a service by bringing the work to their attention."-Norwich Courier.

"It is just such a work as every mechanic should possess."-Freeman's Journal.

"We consider it one of the most useful and important publications of the age. No mechanic can afford to be without it."-Newark Commercial Courier.

"Of all the various publications having for their object the elucidation and advancement of the mechanical arts and sciences, none that we have seen is so full of promise as this.-Buffalo Com. Adv: "It is the best and cheapest work ever offered to the scientific and practical engineer and mechanic. The plates are beautifully executed."- Globe.

"This great Dictionary is one of the most useful works which has been published for years, and the low price at which it is sold makes it acceptable to all."-South Carolinian.
