Introduction to Part 3:

It is an old remark, that all arts and sciences have a mutual dependence upon each other. ... Thus men, very different in genius and pursuits, become mutually subservient to each other; and a very useful kind of commerce is established by which the old arts are improved, and new ones daily invented.

—William Brownrigg, London, 1748
The Art of Making Common Salt
