Excerpt from A New Century of Inventions: Being Designs Descriptions of One Hundred Machines, Relating to Arts, Manufactures,& Domestic Life It has been my lot, during a long and eventful passage through life, to have my attention forcibly drawn to a multitude of Mechanical Subjects; the present review of which permits me to hope, that in making them publicly known, I should render an important service to the Arts and to Society. But the manner of doing this has been so long a question with me, that I have sometimes feared my ability would be extinct before I could do it at all. The reasons, however, that urge me to make the attempt acquire strength with the lapse of time: and whenever my declining health bespeaks the approach of that "night in which no man can work," I feel deep regret, that this tribute should not have been thrown into the treasury of human knowledge while yet, by the favour of a good Providence, the means of doing it were more fully at my disposal. I have determined therefore to publish these Inventions. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
