BUCHANAN, Robertson: A Practical Treatise on Propelling Vessels by Steam, , Glasgow, 1816,

pp. ix, (3), 187, (5), with 17 plates, one folding. The title-page and list of plates only call for 16 plates. Contemporary style, but probably later, grey boards and paper spine, preserving the original title-label. Boards worn at the corners, back cover damp-stained, frontis. heavily foxed and some foxing to the other plates to varying degrees, but still a sound copy of the scarce original edition. Ex-libris label of Mario and Fiametta Witt and ownership mark of Brent Maxfield. Includes a chapter on steam boats in America. (Book ref. 2187)  £420.00
