Publisher sN ote It is more than three years since the first pages of this text were printed. At once they found a place in the school shop that demonstrated the wisdom of the publishers in supplying a definite text to be studied and depended upon as the basis of instruction for work in the wood shop. So fully has the value of a definite text in the hands of the pupil been demonstrated that it appears to be advisable to place before the teachers and pupils a complete series of texts in harmony with the principles of Mechanical Science. To accomplish this, a somewhat large undertaking, the future publication of these works will be in the hands of the author thru a business organized under the name of the first student and teacher of Mechanical Science, Henry Maudslay, in whose shops Whiteworth, Clement, Naysmith and other eminent mechanics received the early training that made possible their large contributions to the beginnings of modern methods of working solid materials. It will ever be the aim of the publishers to keep the books fully up to the practice of the best schools. An exceptional amount of expense has been incurred in procuring the illustrations, all of which, except a few of those of tools are entirely original. This statement appears to be necessary because of several other publishers making use of cuts taken from this authors texts. FRANK HENRY SELDEN.
