Disambiguation notice

"Mechanick Exercises on the Whole Art of Printing" is the same as "Mechanick Exercises as Applied to Printing". It is distinct from "Mechanick Exercises as Applied to Smithing etc." A volume entitled "Mechanick Exercises" without referencing which Arts it Applies to, usually contains the other work (Smithing etc.) and not this one.
