This text aims to explicate various aspects related to the principles and practices of different arts, manufacturing processes, and mining activities. It serves as an informative resource for professionals in these fields, illustrating the transformations of raw materials into goods of exchangeable value. The opening of the work establishes its purpose and scope, outlining the author's intent to detail the processes and technologies that underlie the production, transformation, and distribution of materials essential to human existence. Ure introduces the classifications of operative industry, describing the distinct roles of husbandmen, miners, engineers, and manufacturers in the overall production cycle. The preface emphasizes the importance of understanding these transformations, as well as the need for clear definitions and principles to guide those in the manufacturing and metallurgical fields, aiming to elevate their understanding and independence from traditional methods limited by "blind prejudice and vicious routine."
