The whole founded on true geometrical principles; the theory and practice well explained and fully exemplified on 78 copper-plates (all present and many dated June or October 1792) correctly engraved by the author, including some observations and calculations on the strength of timber".

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

Shipping terms
Most of my books can be shipped to any part of the world or collected by arrangement. Orders usually ship within 2 business days and frequently within one day of cleared payment. Please note that the default ABE shipping charges do not necessarily apply and that in most cases my shipping charges are considerably less. The rate for first-class Royal Mail letter post or parcel post within the UK is often specified with the item description. Please advise if you would prefer second-class post, recorded delivery, special delivery etc. If an overseas rate is not specified please ask for a quote. Post and packing charges are kept to a modest limit reflecting the true cost. If extra insurance (such as through special delivery or international signed for) is not detailed but required then please ask for a quote. In any event, for Royal Mail items a certificate of posting will always be obtained. All books are very securely packaged.
