"The Glass Dealer’s Ready Reckoner"  By John Thorpe. Published in St.  
Helens, Lancashire by Pilkington Brothers, Ltd., in 1884.

“Consisting of a series of Tables of Superficial Measurement  
calculated from two to one hundred and eighty inches in length by one  
inch to one hundred and thirty-two inches in width for the use of  
Polished Plate and Window Glass Manufacturers and Dealers”. Pilkington  
Brothers, founded in 1826, is one of the most respected families of  
glass manufacturers in England.

Hardcover. 6”x9”, 131 tables, numbered 2-132. Table 1 appears not have  
existed, the first gather is complete in the binding and no pages have  
been removed; further, table 2 begins where you would expect the first  
page to be, and a comparison of this copy with copies in institutional  
holdings confirms that the tables begin with Table 2. Covers with some  
soil, a little staining and light wear. Pages with some scattered  
light soil. [42986]  $85
