PREFACE.

As the object of all study, and the end of all wisdom, is practical utility, so a collection, of the most approved

Receipts, in all the arts of Domestic and Social Life, may be considered as a volume containing nearly the whole of

the wisdom of man, worthy of preservation. In truth, the present volume has been compiled under the feeling, that

if all other books of Science in the world were destroyed, this single volume would be found to embody the results

of the useful experience, observations, and discoveries of mankind during the past ages of the world.

Theoretical reasonings and historical details have, of course, been avoided, and the objects of the compilers have

been to economize space, and come at once to the point. Whatever men do, or desire to do, with the materials with

which nature has supplied them, and with the powers which they possess, is here plainly taught and succinctly

preserved; whether it regard complicated manufactures, means of curing diseases, simple processes of various

kinds, or the economy, happiness, and preservation of life.

The best authorities have been resorted to, and innumerable volumes consulted, and wherever different processes of

apparently equal value, for attaining the same and have been found, they have been introduced.

A general, rather than a scientific, arrangement has been adopted, because the object of the work is popular and

universal, and, though likely to be useful to men of science, it is more especially addressed to the public at large. In

like manner, as far as possible, technical and scientific language has been avoided, and popular names and simple

descriptions have been preferred.

Every care has been taken in the printing to avoid errors in quantities, as well as to select the best receipts of each

kind.

The matter has been carefully digested from standard authorities, the scientific journals, and from the practical

knowledge of the Editors and contributors. The Editors have to acknowledge valuable assistance from gentlemen

eminent in the departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Wine-making, Perfumery, Cements, Engraving,

Photography, Angling, Tanning, etc. Among other distinguished contributors, we may name the following:

B. HOWARD RAND, M.D.,

C. W. CRESSON, M.D.

___________

Professor of Chemistry in the Jefferson Medical College of

Philadelphia.

Late Professor of Chemistry in the Medical Department,

Pennsylvania College.

Late Professor of Chemistry in the Franklin Institute.

Late Professor of Chemistry and Physics in the Philada. Central

High School.

___________

JOHN SARTAIN, ESQ.

(Mezzotint Engraving,)

Philadelphia.

___________

THEO. D. RAND, ESQ;

___________

PROF. JAMES C. BOOTH,

MESSRS. HINSHELLWOOD &

MAIGNELLE,

Of the Continental Bank Note

Company, New York.

___________

Chemist, Melter, Refiner, and Assayer, United States Mint, and

Late Professor of Chemistry in Central High School, Philadelphia,

and the Franklin Institute, of Philadelphia.

JOHN FREAS, ESQ.,

Of the Germantown Telegraph,

(Fish Culture and Angling)

The work, it is believed, will be found more reliable and thorough than any one of its class now in print. The

miscellaneous department contains much valuable and interesting information. Some matters properly belonging

under other heads, but received too late, have been transferred to it. The reader is especially requested to refer to

the index when seeking information.
