=INDUSTRIAL GUIDE-BOOKS.=
To supply a manifest deficiency in the books already published for the
education of the industrial classes, the Publishers have undertaken a
series of works, (which will be brought out at the cheapest rate,) whose
chief object is to prepare young persons for the choice of an
occupation, by instructing them in the peculiar duties, and, as far as
requisite, in the technical details of the various departments of
SERVICE OR TRADE in which they are likely to be engaged as they advance
in life. It is, of course, not contemplated herein to teach every thing
that should be known in a Trade, or to point out the whole details of a
Service,--but to give such a general knowledge of the occupations which
the mass of the people are called upon to follow, as may prepare the
young for the proper discharge of their duties, and systematize much
of the practical information which the adult has now in most cases, to
learn without a Guide. These works will, collectively, contain a mass of
authentic and amusing information on the various departments of industry
in this country, which will be useful and interesting to all readers.
They will be illustrated with numerous explanatory wood cuts. The
subjects to be embraced will, for the most part, be as follows:--
