Excerpt from The Farmers and Mechanics Manual: With Many Valuable Tables for Machinists, Manufacturers, Merchants, Builders, Engineers, Masons, Painters, Plumbers, Gardeners, Accountants, Etc There are few persons, no matter what their calling or their education, who do not occasionally find themselves at a loss for information of the commonest kind, on any of the subjects pertaining to the practical arts of daily life - knowl edge which was, perhaps, familiar to them in their school boy days, ' but which has been forgotten or become obscured through the lapse of years. For example, how few persons can tell, without consulting books, the cubic inches contained in a bushel, the square yardsin an acre, or how to measure the contents Of a corn crib, or. Gauge a cistern. Nor is the inability to do so any re¿ection upon either their native capacity or their education. It is simply impossible to carry all these things in the memory so as to apply them when occasion requires. Hence the necessity for hand-books, Mechanics' Assistants, Pocket Companions, &c., Besides the labor involved in the almost daily necessity of calculating arithmetical, mensural, and other results, and the constant liability to error to which even the competent scholar is subject, the time required in the process, in this age, when time has emphatically acquired a money value, is no inconsiderable desideratum. Hence the necessity for Ready Reckoners, Pocket Accountants, Calculators' Assistants, &c., About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
