Uittreksel

Originally published about 1825, this work went through four editions in just over a decade. It was a long popular work and was reprinted in America in the first year of publication, 1825. An excellent essay on this work and its origins by R. D. Mussey appears in The first American furniture finisher’s manual (Dover, 1987). Mussey points out that the real authorship has been lost in the mists of time. He cites the publication of 14 known editions and seventy-plus pirated texts. He states that “it is fair to attach great significance to this text.” The long title is synoptical of the contents. (Charles Wood, cat. 167, # 61)
