COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS FOR INVENTIONS. Patents for Inventions: Abridgments of Specifications Relating to Roads and Ways: A.D. 1619-1866.
Holborn, England, Office of The Commissioners of Patents For Inventions, 1868. Paperback. At time of publication, the Indexes to Patents were, "so numerous and costly as to render their purchase inconvenient to a large number of inventors and others, to whom they have become indispensable. To obviate this difficult, short abstracts or abridgments of the Specifications of Patends under each head of Invention have been prepared for publication separately, (nearly 62,500) and so arranged as to form at once a Chronological, Alphabetical, Subject-matter, and Reference Index to the class to which they relate. This series embraces all Inventions relating to the construction and maintenance of Roads and Ways, whether paved, macadamized, or formed by the use of asphalte, concrete, or the various other substances..." Includes everything from wooden planking to better accomodate animals, to improved rails, and superior machines for breaking up the road. 288 pp., including index and appendix. Pages uncut and untrimmed. Original blue paper covers. Fading and wear to spine. Small tear to top of title page. Printed by George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode of London. Paperback Original. , Good Plus.
