Excerpt from First Lessons in Wood-Working
The division into lessons is necessarily, to some ex tent, arbitrary. The lessons may be found too long or too short, according to the time which the school may be able to allow. An intelligent instructor will easily combine them or subdivide them as occasion may require.
I am indebted to Messrs. Fairbanks Co. For the design for a small testing-machine, Fig. 8, and to my colleague, Professor William Stratford, for the micro-photograph of a section of the wood of Pinus Sylvestris, Fig. 6.

Excerpt from First Lessons in Wood-Working
The series of lessons in wood-working here presented is intended, principally, for use in schools in which hand-work is pursued as a part of general training. The order of sequence is designed to lead the pupil from one tool to another of larger capabilities, and from one operation to another requiring a higher degree of skill.
In writing the descriptions of operations the aim has been to make them so full as to enable an intelligent pupil to perform the operations tolerably well, even without the help of an instructor, and at the same time to direct the attention of the instructor to the principal points that he ought to insist on, and the principal errors that are found to occur. The work being designed for young pupils, say between the ages of eleven and fourteen, it is not intended to go over much ground, nor to impart great skill, but only to open the way, reserving for another volume a more extended course.
