Ure's Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines 1853 US Edition Antique

Andrew Ure (1778-1857), Scottish chemist, scientific writer and professor at the University of Glasgow, was an enthusiast of the new manufacturing systems that were emerging in the nineteenth century.
His Dictionary is a well-known and much-used work, which went to several editions. This is an 1853 US Edition. Packed with thousands of useful technical and statistical information on material, chemical and machine processes, and industries, it covers an exceptional range of topics from manufacture and export figures of biscuits, cotton, steel or sugar, to descriptions of minerals, tools, machinery, elements, and organic chemistry.

The binding and cover are in excellent shape for its age (170 Years Old). My father got this book from his father who bought it at some point (Both he and my father were Electrical Engineers). The pages are somewhat yellowed but readable. The tome is 1340 Pages plus a 304 Page Supplement. This is an in depth look at engineering in its younger days.
