"The rapid sale of Four Editions of this work has induced the Editor to offer to the public a Fifth which, from the many important additions made, he trusts will now form a complete pocket companion for the Cabinet Maker, as well as a necessary and useful addition to his tool- chest: and though the price is somewhat enhanced, from the plates and extra matter contained in it, still that will not be found, on a comparison with the former work, to be such as will put it out of the workman's power to avail himself of the benefits a book of general reference like the present is calculated to afford."Advertisement.

A beautiful copy in original boards of the first printing of the first furniture finisher's manual published in the United States, reprinted from the first British edition of the same year. Described on the title-page as a "New Edition, with considerable Additions," this first American edition provides concise instructions on the application of varnish and stains, dying woods, inlaying, laquering, glue-making, japanning, polishing, etc. The work had enormous influence. According to Robert Mussey, the author of the introductory essay for the Dover reprint edition of 1987, it went through at least fourteen editions as well as more than seventy pirated editions. Mussey also observes that the actual authorship is uncertain, suggesting several possibilities. The traditional attribution to Siddons is from the title-page of an 1837 London edition. Interestingly, Greenfield was also the place of publication of Asher Benjamin's The Country Builder's Assistant (1797), the first architectural book authored by an American published in the U.S. REFERENCES: Rink 1793; not in American Imprints.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - This vintage book contains a classic guide to cabinetmaking, with a particular focus on finishing. Wood finishing is the process of refining or protecting wooden surfaces, particularly during the production of furniture. Contents include: 'General Observations', 'To Clean the Face of Soft Mahogany, of Other Porous Woods', 'Another Way to Clean and Finish Mahogany Work', 'To Darken Mahogany', 'Gluing up and Veneering Card-table-tops, Secretary Fronts, &c', To Cut Steel Plates for Scrapers', etc. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in cabinetmaking, wood finishing, and carpentry in general. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this classic volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on wood finishing.

Very good, and wholly unsophisticated. Untrimmed. The first American printing of the first American furniture finisher's manual, reprinted from the original British edition by G.A. Siddons. "A new edition, with considerable additions. Including an appendix containing several valuable tables." Clear and concise instructions are given for dying and staining woods, making glue, making and applying varnish, polishing, japanning, cleaning woods and metals, and much more. For example, to make furniture oil "Take linseed oil, put it in a glazed pipkin, with as much alkanet root as it will cover; let it boil gently, and you will find it become of a strong red color: let it cool, and it will be fit for use." Six tables in the appendix provide assistance for figuring lengths and weights, and an index follows. Western Massachusetts was obviously a place of great architectural and design innovation during the American Federal period as both the present title and Asher Benjamin's landmark architecture book, THE COUNTRY BUILDER'S ASSISTANT., were printed in Greenfield. Not in AMERICAN IMPRINTS. Highly desirable and a landmark in American crafts. RINK 1793.
