2 vol. Large 8vo. [3], 10-960, [2]; [3], 4-960, [2] pp. Quarter contemporary brown sheep over brown publisher's cloth with the spines in six compartments, gilt lettering and decorations on the spines; all edges marbled. Marbled endpapers and pastedowns. Volume one likely lacking the publisher's advertisements. Both volumes illustrated with numerous in-text and full-page engravings: diagrams of steam engines, trains, gears, mills, architecture, and other aspects of industrialization. The title page states four thousand engravings on wood. First published in 1850, these are early reprints of Appleton's informative and copious engineering references. Two hinges neatly repaired, some foxing to the boards and the versos of the endpapers.
