HOWTHEYDI.DITINTHE
containing
embracing
The original design of t,he compiler of this, vork ~8s to prepare a. collection of
popular and domestic receipts, to contain only those mbose practic,al utility had
been est.ablished, either by actua: trial or by the guaranty of undoubted axthori-
ties, thus excluding the moss of antried, and, consequently, unreliable inforrnstion
to be fond in Receipt Rooks, compiled with a vien to quantity rather than
quality. As the work progressed: it was founti. in many cases, no easy matter to
draw a line between the simpia or practical and t,he artistic or scientific. To meet
this diBicalty, it W;ISdetermined to enlarge its swpe, increasing the csefulass of
the former by the additional light of scientific research, and rendering the latter
easy of application by reducing the formoia: and technicalities of scientific witers
to plain language, so as to be understood by the uninibiabed. To carry out this
idea intelligibly, ‘he plan has been adopted of classifying the various subjects
treated. of in the aoyclopedia, 80 that each should be presented in a compact
form of completeness unattainabie by any other meth rl; nmitting only, in order
TO save repetilion, such information as could be foul;d in connection with some
other subject in another part of the work, but easily reached by the introduction
of reference numbers, or by the aid of the Index.
The result of this change of scheme ia the preparation of the Encyclopedia is
twofold: 6rst, an amount of information ?n popular and houschoid matters
rareip, it is believed, to be found in one volume ; secondly, a condensed digest of
all the practical information, bearing on :he various branches of the industrial
arts, that is contained in the best scient~idc Forks of modern times, many of which
axe cost.ly and technical in style, and some of them rarely to be found in this
COW&Y.
This has necessarily invo!ved an almost incredible amount of patient and pe--
sistent labor, rendered unavoidable in order to separate and extract the practical
matter from theoretical propositions and speculative deductions; .f great value to
the expert, but eniireip beyond the scope of a popular work; this mill be fully
corroborated by the axmexed list of authorities, which have been quoted or oon-
sulted in th; preparation of the Encyclopedia. In accomplishing this the compiler
has bee? assisted by it gentiercan whose knowledge of languages, and other at-
tainments, have aided hi materially in his uodertakikiqg.
The various processes and formulae connect,ed with the Practical Arts form,
therefore, a distinguishing feature of the work, of the highest utility both in the I
bbolA%ry and the workshop. They are further explained, where it has beon
deemed necessary, with neatly executed iilustrations and diagrams, thus giving the
PREFSCE.
inexperienced a clear insight int,o many of those scientific operations usually sup-
posed to be attain-ble only by persons trained and educated for the purpose.
The Receipts containing information more especia,lly applicable to domestic
y&tere and the requirements of every-d,?r life, deserve more t,han a passing
notice, as no pains have been spared to mike them comprehensire, thorough,
and c:earlg understood; showing not only That must be done, but how to do
it, in order to attain any desired result; giving the materials used, their proper
proportions, and how to prepare, mix and apply them; introducmg also, wher-
ever advisable or necessary, reliable tests for the purity, strength, etc., of the
substances brought into requisition. This principle of testing is a noticeable
feature throughout the Encyclopedia.
In the Medical department, each recipe or formula is adopted for its efficacy
only, wit,hout reference t,o any particular School of Medicine. Some of them
are published for the first time in this work, being obtained from tlx private
memoranda of a distinguished physician, and other similar sources.
With the exception of general, but thorough, directions for Curing, Preserving,
Pickling and Canning, Culinary receipts have been aroided, a8 they map be found
in any reliable Cookery Book; the design of this mnrk being to afford only such
information a8 i8 not otherwise easily attainable.
The Tab!es of Weighas and Measures, and their comparative ralues, are by a
competent mathematician, and founded on official or other well-established d&e.
They include also &careful selection of general statistical information from authentic
8oume8.
The la& 24 pages consist of Miscellaneous Receipts, v&i& would not readily
admit of classiEcation; including, also, a few additional receipts obtained too late
to take their place in the part of the book to which they properly belong. These
will always be found by consulting the Index, a course which mill insure the find-
ing of all the information connected with the subject desired.
Condensation has been raorted to throughout the work, as far as possible, and
repetition greatly avoided by the use of refexnce numbers, which are introduced
whererer it has been found necessary to refer the reader for further information
contained in some paragraph in another part of the book.
A carefully prepared Index i8 appended, io as condensed a form a.8 perspicuit,y
will allow. A glance nt the directions given at the conmencement of the Index
will materially aid in finding the article or paragraph songht for.
In submitting to the public this contribution to the popular resources of general
information and practical knowledge, the compiler begs to offer his apologies for
any error8 or omissions that may occur in it; reserving for future editions such
corrections and additions its circumstances may suggest, or the march of improve-
ment demand. By no means assuming the impossible attribute of perfection for
this work, he believes that its contents will at least warrant his claiming for the
Encyclopedia 3 marked superiority over other existing works of a similar nature.
