Transcriber's Notes:

Illustrated symbols are denoted as: [symbol: description].

Hyphenation, punctuation, and spelling standardized when a predominant choice was available; otherwise unchanged.

Page 81: illustration captioned "FIG. 11.--DANIEL WEBSTER'S PLOW." is referenced in Footnote 12.

Page 147: text apparently omitted after "of one piece"

Page 198: reference to "Fig. 1" is incorrect.

Index entry for "Iron, history of, 41-63" probably should read "41-53"
