“ There are many fingers pointing to the value of a training in science, as the one thing needful to make the man, who shall rise above his fellows. ”—Frank Allen.
“ The motto marked upon our foreheads, written upon our door-posts, channeled in the earth, and wafted upon the waves is and must be, ‘Labour is honorable and Idleness is dishonorable.’ ”—Carlyle.
This work is respectfully dedicated to Maj. ABRAM B. GARNER, of Newark, N. J., —AND— ALBERTO H. CAFFEE, Esq., of New York City. ‘Gentlemen without fear and without reproach.’
“ Thought is the principal factor in all mechanical work; the mechanical effort is an incident rather than the principal equipment in any trade or occupation. ”
“ Any trade is easily learned by an apt scholar who uses his reasoning faculties and makes a study of cause and effect. ”—CHAS. J. MASON.
