Read the following from The Trade Journal:

"To just such instructions as he meets with in this work, is the writer of
this paragraph indebted for his own advancement from the journeyman's rank
to the position he now occupies. The winter evenings spent in pursuing
such studies, would fit many a man, now skilful as a workman, to take a
higher stand among his associates, and a more useful one in the community.
The whole book, which has been a very expensive one to get up, does great
credit to the publishers, and when known generally, cannot but receive a
cordial welcome from that valuable class of men to whom we are indebted
for the shelter afforded by 'the house we live in.'"
