HENRY CAREY BAIRD & CO., LONDON: SAMPSON LOW, MARSTON, SEARLE & RIVINGTON, 1893. PUBLIC PREFACE. THE remarkable success which has steadily attended the publication of THE MOULDER'S AND FOUNDER'S POCKET GUIDE, by the late Frederick Overman, has induced the publishers to engage the services of Mr. A. A. Fesquet, in adding to it a supplement which shall bring it up to the best practice of the present day; more especially in some important particulars, which are wanting in the original treatise. That gentleman bas therefore, after much conscientious and intelligent labor, and with special facilities which were extended to him, in the most courteous and liberal manner, by the heads of some of the first foundries in this city, produced the matter here presented, which appears under his name. full Index is now also for the first time added. A We believe that in its present form it must prove even more useful and popular in the future than it has done in the past; great as that popularity has been. H. C. B. PHILADELPHIA, March 25, 1880. |
