Excerpt from The Engineer's and Mechanic's Encyclop�dia, Comprehending Practical Illustrations of the Machinery and Processes Employed in Every Description of Manufacuture of the British Empire, Vol. 1 of 2

Although many excellent treatises have been published on the theory of the Mechanical and Chemical Sciences, none of them embrace a combined and general view of the practical application of those sciences to the operative arts and manufactures of the Empire. There are, however, it must be admitted, several meritorious works which treat partially on these subjects; but to the objection of their contracted plan, may be added that of an inconvenient arrangement for ready reference; and the practical information that may be sought for in the voluminous Cyclop�dias of Science and Literature, though attainable only by laborious research, is, in most instances, so abstruse or antiquated, as to be of no utility to those who are desirous to avail themselves of the best combinations of inventive skill, or to practise the new processes resulting from modern chemical discovery.

The numerous applications to me, (in my professional capacity of a patent agent,) by inventors, for information on these subjects, demonstrate the foregoing fact, and fully convince me of the great advantages that would be conferred upon a very extensive and influential portion of the community, by the publication of a work which should embrace a judicious selection of all those machines, engines, manipulations, Processes, and discoveries, that now lie scattered throughout several hundred volumes of the scientific journals, or are inscribed in obsolete characters upon the rolls of the Court of Chancery, in the form of specifications of patent inventions.
