"More than a century has elapsed since Moxon's ingenious work on the building art, called 'Mechanical Exercises' was first published. It long continued useful and popular. The present state of practice allowed very well of a similar work with improvements. Mr. Nicholson has followed the steps of his predecessor, and treats separately of the arts enumerated in his title page." J. Taylor, publisher, 1812 The Mechanic's Companion, published first in 1812 as Mechanical Exercises and later titled The Mechanic's Companion, was and is a standard reference to the building trades, including carpentry, joinery, bricklaying, masonry, slating, plastering, painting, smithing and turning. This, the 1850 edition, is identical in text content and engraved plates to the first edition published under the title "The Mechanic's Companion"in 1831. In print for over half a century, The Mechanic's Companion "...describe(s) the several tools belonging to each branch of business, next the methods of performing the various manual operations or exercises, to which they are applicable, there are further illustrated and explained by numerous plates..."
