Minifie, William
A Text Book of Geometrical Drawing for the Use of Mechanics and Schools, in which the definitions and rules of geometry are familiarly explained...
Brown cloth 8vo; 162, 31, (1)pp. 56 plates. Reprint of the 1867 edition. Very Good with sunning and discoloration to boards, four small bites to the cloth covers, inconspicuously in-painted. Mild foxing to endpapers, but text is bright and crisp. Minifie was an architect by trade and his text was considerably more technical than other drawing books being published in the United States. Originally published in 1849, its industrial and vocational applications made in a standard textbook in American schools, going through several editions through the mid-nineteenth century.
