“It is the aim of the compiler to present in as small a space as possible the rules and processes, together with the formulas and recipes for manufacturing many of those articles used by mechanics, artisans, families, and all people in every walk of life, and by doing so, not only furnish the knowledge as the “way it is done,” but also to place the reader in a position “to do it”.  As far as possible, ambiguous, and technical terms have been refrained from.  Occasionally some such phrase may be found, not generally understood, in which event a dictionary will soon explain.”
