Excerpt from Practical Mechanics for Shop Apprentices and Others
This work has been written and compiled with the object of la)ing a foundation and preparing the way for a better education and technical knowledge for apprentices and others in engineering shops, and has been based on what will actually be needed, and should be followed in conjunction with a course of mechanical drawing.
The author, as an apprentice, was connected with mechanics' institutes and technical schools, and for some years was in charge of evening classes, teach ing geometrical and mechanical drawing, watching with pleasure the efforts of the young men trying to improve themselves and guiding them in the direction of their own improvement.
To such as are anxious and willing to learn, I would earnestly plead with them to persevere and not be discouraged.
