PREFACE.
This Handbook contains, in form convenient foreveryday use, a comprehensive digest of the knowledgeof harness making, scattered over more than twentythousand columns of Work—one of the weeklyjournals it is my fortune to edit—and supplies conciseinformation on the details of the subjects of whichit treats.
In preparing for publication in book form the massof relevant matter contained in the volumes of Work,much had to be arranged anew. However, it may bestated that the greater part of the contents of thisHandbook consists substantially of matter contributedby a working harness maker.
Readers who may desire additional informationrespecting special details of the matters dealt with inthis Handbook, or instructions on kindred subjects,should address a question to Work, so that it maybe answered in the columns of that journal.
