Cloth slightly marked and rubbed, a touch of wear to spine ends. Modern bookplate to pastedown. Nathaniel Brown Engleheart (1790-1869) was the son of the miniaturist George Engleheart and became a proctor in the Doctor?s Commons in the last decades of its operation. The work evidently left him time to refine the art of turning, and two pieces of his work in ivory are now in the V&A. This book, his main publication and one of the earliest such treatises in English, was republished in 1867 by Holtzapffel, with his name attached.
