Excerpt from Lectures in a Workshop

This email but comprehensive volume forms an appropriate sequel to "The Student"s Illustrated Guide to Practical Draughting," which is now in the hands of a great many students throughout the United States; and carries forward another step our wish for popularizing and widely diffusing good and useful, and practical information, among the thousands of industrial workers in handicraft.

The "Lectures" have been written with the aim of stimulating young men and workmen to self-culture, and of showing to them in plain language the unprecedented and splendid opportunities and means for education and improvement. Still more to show their capabilities in adding immensely to the rapid progress in industrial art and practical science. The valuable papers by Sir Joseph Whitworth, of Manchester, England, the eminent mechanician and inventor - a self-made, self-cultured man - will be read with interest and profit.

The Author trusts that this work will be found acceptable and instructive, and be the means of inciting many to more exertion and higher aims in their employment and acquisition of knowledge.
