OverviewExcerpt from Elements of Drawing and Mensuration: Applied to the Mechanic Arts There is little to be done, in such an undertaking, ex cept to collect, arrange, and simplify, and to adapt the work, in all its parts, to the precise place which it is intended to fill. The introduction into our schools, within the last few years, Of the subjects Of Natural Philosophy, Astronomy, Mineralogy, Chemistry, and Drawing, has given rise to a higher grade of elementary studies, and the extended applications of the mechanic arts call for additional ih formation among practical men. To understand the most elementary treatise on Natu ral Philosophy, or the Simplest work on the Mechanic Arts, or even to make a plane drawing, some knowledge of the principles Of Geometry is indispensable; and yet, those in whose hands such works are generally placed, or who are called upon to make plans in the mechanic arts, feel that they have hardly time to go through with a full course Of exact demonstration.
