Description

In the publisher's original cloth binding. 

With a folding frontispiece containing figures that demonstrate the Hoppus unit of measure. 

This work offers a new table for finding the square and value of unequal-sided timber, stone and other building materials. 

Also included are tables for finding the weights of iron, finding the value of per foot cube of timber, stone &c. and more. 

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, generally smart. With rubbing and bumping to the extremities, resulting in cloth to the spine tail coming away. Front hinge is tender, and rear hinge is starting but firm. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with offsetting to the pastedowns and the odd spot.
