Excerpt from Manual of Useful Knowledge: Being a Collection of Valuable Miscellaneous Receipts and Philosophical Experiments, Selected From Various Authors

When an author or editor lays his work before the public, it is not unusual to expect that he should give some account, either of the work itself, or of the motives by which he has been actuated in the publication of it. Of the following compilation the plan sufficiently exhibits and elucidates itself; and the purposes to be answered by it, he trusts will be seen in the usefulness of the information communicated.

As to his motive for making a volume out of materials, widely scattered indeed, but already in the hands of the public, he will frankly acknowledge that he was impelled to this step in part, though not altogether, by the hope of deriving from it some pecuniary advantage.

For some years past it his been the amusement of his few hours of leisure to look into works of a scientific and philosophical description; and out of them, in the course of his reading, to make extracts of what he thought useful or interesting: and he is able to sail in regard to most of the receipts and experiments here produced, out of a very large collection, that their correctness has been ascertained and verified by actual trial.
