Publisher's Notice.—In selecting the information published herein, I have aimed to give only such tables, &c., as are of practical, every-day use; such as a mechanic will find occasion to refer to very frequently, and by their use, in conjunction with the Silicate Slates (on inside of the covers) and the Memorandum paper, an estimate can be made on almost any kind of an ordinary piece of work, and preserved for future reference. As will be seen by the heads of the various tables, I have copied from different works published for the use of Mechanics, Engineers, &c., and I beg to advise all who may find the tables herein of value to them, that they buy one or more of these books—they will be found of almost incalculable service; we give below a list of them.
