The want of a comprehensive collection of illustrations and descriptions of Mechanical
Movements has long been seriously felt by artisans, inventors, and students
of the mechanic arts. It was the knowledge of this want which induced the
compilation of the collection here presented. The movements which it contains
have been already illustrated and described in occasional installments scattered
through five volumes of the American Artisan, by the readers of which their
publication was received with so much favor as was believed to warrant the expense
of their reproduction with some revision in a separate volume.
The selection of the movements embraced in this collection has been made
from many and various sources. The English works of Johnson, Willcock, Wylson,
and Denison have been drawn upon to a considerable extent, and many other
works—American and foreign—have been laid under contribution ; but more than
one-fourth of the movements—many of purely American origin—have never previously
appeared in any published collection. Although the collection embraces
about three times as many movements as have ever been contained in any previous
American publication, and a considerably larger number than has ever been contained
in any foreign one, it has not been the object of the compiler to merely swell the number,
but he has endeavored to select only such as may be of really practical value ;
and with this end in view, he has rejected many which are found in nearly all the
previously published collections, but which he has considered only applicable to
some exceptional want.
