Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Construction and Operation of Wood-Working Machines As it was stated in the outset that no apology was needed for the introduction of this work, it is superfluous, for the same reasons, to apologize for its not being a text-book, - there 1s nothing to form a text-book from. The limited experience of one person can furnish but little material for such a work. If it is desired to prepare a treatise on the steam-engine or machine tools, or in fact on any of the common branches of mechanism, except wood machines, you have only to go to any scientific library, and the whole thing is before you, - rules, formulae, drawings, repeated by a score of writers; but to write of wood machines there are no such data. Let this be a sufficient apology for what this treatise may lack, as compared with treatises devoted to other branches of engineering.
