Beschreibung:
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The arrangement of the following pages is the result of many years' practice; and the matter has been compared and digested with the observations and directions of several eminent professional gentlemen. As it is humbly con ceived that all acquired knowledge should be imparted and difi'used for public advantage, and not be permitted to remain inactive, but, like the rays of light, be spread, in order to transmit and infuse a genial influence: so, whether the production be a laboured treatise on the first principles of science, or an humble essay to produce perspicuity and uniformity in the practice of business; the motive of action being the same.
