Description
Edinburgh: Prtd. for the Author/J Balfour, 1784/'74. First Edition.. full contemp. calf. A very good copy; joint strengthened; tear in large plate repaired (no loss).. 8vo. There are 5 copper eng. plates. Small describes himself as a 'plough and cart wright'. The treatise he has written is a manual on the construction and design of ploughs and farm carts. The book is of a practical nature but takes into account scientific and physical principles that would limit the size and mechanical tolerances of each. The book is forthright and purposeful in its explanations and presentation of material. The Barron unfortunately lacks the plate meant to accompany it.
