Boston: Benjamin B. Mussey, 1843. First edition. 8vo. 28 engraved plates. viii, [9]-232 pp. Publisher's cloth rebacked in roan; covers rubbed and stained, occasional light foxing First edition of Benjamin's final work, which Hitchcock notes was his least popular work and only appeared in two editions. Perhaps for that reason it is also one of Benjamin's scarcest titles. Of note is the section on the theory of carpentry, including "36 experiments made on various kinds of American timber; experiments made in various ways of European timber by European artists; and on the strength of iron, steel, copper, brass, tin, lead, stone, bricks, cement, etc." PROVENANCE: William Reese (book-label, purchased from Charles Wood) REFERENCE: Hitchcock 115
