[Rarebooks] FS: 1861 Study of Textile Industry in England

[Joslin Hall Rare Books]

TITLE: “The Philosophy of Manufactures: or, an Exposition of the
Scientific, Moral, and Commercial Economy of the Factory System of Great
Britain...Continued in its Details to the Present Time by P.L. Simmonds”

By Andrew Ure [& P.L. Simmonds].
published in London by H.G. Bohn in 1861. 3rd edition.

DISCUSSION: Originally published in 1835, this important study is
primarily devoted to English textile manufacture. Simmonds writes that in
this new edition his aim is "to concentrate as much descriptive and
statistical information connected with these great manufacturing
industries, as should serve to convey the idea of their position and
progress both at home and abroad". The book begins with Ure's original
text, and then continues with Simmonds' additions- Progress of
Manufactures Since 1836; Recent History of Cotton Manufacture; Recent
History of Flax Manufacture; Recent History of Silk Manufacture; Recent
History of Wool Manufacture. "

DESCRIPTION: Hardcover. 5"x7.5", xvi + 766 pages, black & white
frontispiece and text illustrations.

CONDITION NOTES: A note says that the power-loom factory plate from the
earlier edition has been moved to the Cotton section, but I cannot find
it, so we will assume it is missing; recased with newer endsheets; spine
darkened; stain on rear cover; light soil and wear throughout, small
repair to title page.

PRICE:  $150 -
