Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Little Jack of All Trades, With Suitable Representations, Vol. 1
I'm also a farrier, nor sluggard, nor sot My anvil I strike While the iron is hot.
The labours of the Smith are highly to be prized, since every trade, more or less, is indebted to him. The Blacksmith softens iron in his forge, and by shaping it with his hammer. On the anvil, furnishes us with keys, to secure our houses and property froin thieves; hoops for barrels; tires, or bands, for wheels; nails, which though seemingly insignificant, are of the first utility: grates and fire irons, ploughshares, and most other im plements of agriculture.
