Excerpt from Manual of Useful Knowledge: Being a Collection of Valuable Miscellaneous Receipts and Philosophical Experiments, Selected From Various Authors
When an author or editor lays his work before the public, it is not unusual to expect that he should give some account, either of the work itself, or of the motives by which he has been actuated in the publication of it. Of the following compilation the plan sufficiently exhibits and elucidates itself; and the purposes to be answered by it, he trusts will be seen in the usefulness of the information communicated.
As to his motive for making a volume out of materials, widely scattered indeed, but already in the hands of the public, he will frankly acknowledge that he was impelled to this step in part, though not altogether, by the hope of deriving from it some pecuniary advantage.
For some years past it his been the amusement of his few hours of leisure to look into works of a scientific and philosophical description; and out of them, in the course of his reading, to make extracts of what he thought useful or interesting: and he is able to sail in regard to most of the receipts and experiments here produced, out of a very large collection, that their correctness has been ascertained and verified by actual trial.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1810, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of practical knowledge and scientific inquiry as it was understood at the time. It delves into a wide range of topics, from preserving plants and eggs to preventing fires and making blue letters on sword blades. The author, a keen observer of the natural world and everyday life, presents a collection of recipes, methods, and experiments, drawing upon a variety of sources to provide readers with valuable and useful information. The book's emphasis on practical applications and innovative solutions reflects a growing interest in science and technology during the Enlightenment era. It demonstrates a desire to improve the lives of ordinary people through the application of scientific principles. The author's inclusion of domestic advice, such as how to make economical wicks for lamps or preserve the air in a room, underscores the book's appeal to a wide audience. The book's insights into the domestic and scientific concerns of the early 19th century provide a valuable resource for understanding the everyday lives and aspirations of people during this period. This collection of practical knowledge stands as a testament to the enduring human desire to improve and understand the world around us.
