About This Item
Manchester, Joseph Pratt, 1823, 4to, pp. (4), 70, 4, 12 plates as called for. Original boards neatly re-backed with a leather spine. Boards rubbed and stained, but still tight and sound. Please note that there is some foxing and browning throughout, as seems quite usual, but this is an acceptable copy of an important early work on the cotton manufacture. Photos on request.
