"This is a boy's book, in which the author has tried, with his pen and pencil, to teach some useful things for the pleasant time of play-hours. It is a plain book, which he hopes will be easily understood by any boy old enough to be trusted with such common tools as a penknife or a pair of scissors, and still be equally suited for the pastime of those who, of riper age, aspire to manlier amusement."--Preface, p. [v].
