Book Description

Excerpt from Bibliography of the Manual Arts These can only be had in private or public libraries. Some of these treatises and reports are, indeed, of the very best. One of the chief values claimed for the bibliography lies in the comments following certain of the titles, thus rendering the selection of a book less a matter of guess work than would otherwise be the case.
