Author: GUEST, Richard:
Title: A Compendious History of the Cotton-Manufacture; with a disproval of the claim of Sir Richard Arkwright to the invention of its ingenious machinery.
Description: 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.
