Mahan's Plates

n.p. n.p., 1865. First Edition. Hardcover. octavo, ca. 5.5"x 9" pp. XXVII, bound in original or old brown cloth covered boards with wear around the edges, ink name written on bottom of book, several pencil and ink names and notes on front endpaper with dates ca. 1905, Title on front cover and contents do not state Dennis Hart Mahan as author, but the subject matter seems to be from him. Contents are 27 folding plates (only - no text) plates in very good condition but top ca. 1" of first 2-3 have faint dampstain- as does the top edge of the front cover. The drawings cover all sorts of subjects from conic sections to rock structures, to buildings, to machines and parts of machines, to waterways. It may have been produced to supplement teaching, but there is no indication of publisher, place, or time. 1865 is a guess- may be much later. Good copy. Note: due to size and weight, shipping outside the USA should cost about that of an average book. Good. Item #8563
