Author: NICHOLSON Peter, revised by Thomas TREDGOLD
Title: Practical Carpentry, Joinery, and Cabinet-Making; being a new and complete system of lines for the use of workmen.
Description: London, Thos. Kelly, 1847. viii, 140pp, 36pp (vol I) lxxxiv plates, vi further plates (Vol II) 28x22, marbled boards, half bound in leather, glt lettering. Small piece of spine missing on vol I, small label on front of each volume, owner's hand-written label (DS Morrison of Scarfskerry), some pages creased, generally good copy of a working book. This version of Nicholson's classic work included options for binding the plates either at the end or separately, or after specific pages of text - in this case the former approach has been taken. The three books of Nicholson's original are all included in the first volume, with books I and II paginated consecutively and book III separately.
