II: Engraved half-title with engr. vignette, engraved frontispiece portrait of Humphry Davy, 15 large engraved portrait plates, 655 figures, index; occasional prominent foxing. [31 large plates in total]. Printed in double columns. Original half maroon calf, watered-silk purple cloth, raised bands, gilt-stamping on spines, black title labels, blind-rules on covers, turquoise endsheets; rubbed. Very good â" a handsome & complete set. [315] Based on checking collations of other copies, it is clear to me that the number and choice of plates can be different in count and personages. Some copies have the author shown twice as the engraved frontispiece; in the present copy there are 2 frontispieces: Professor Muspratt, and Sir Humphry Davy. Some copies have 29 or 30 other engraved portrait plates. Of the several comparable copies mentioned in Cole, one is recorded as having 28 plates. Cole describes his copy as having 30 plates in one volume and one in the other, for a total of 31. In the copy present there are 29 large, engraved plates, with the addition of the 2 half-titles and 2 frontispieces. / This comprehensive encyclopedic-dictionary includes articles on acetic acid, alcohol, arsenic, beer, bleaching, bread, caoutchouc, dyeing and calico-printing, ether, glass, gunpowder, gutta-percha, leather, mercury, opium, paper, perfumery, photography, silver, soap, wine, and other substances. / The 29 engraved plates include portraits of Sir Humphrey Davy, Gay-Lussac, Andrew Ure, Lavoisier, John Dalton, William Gregory, Jean-Baptiste Andre Dumas, Liebig, Chevreul, Joseph Priestley, Chaptal, Faraday, and other distinguished scientists. / Neville's copy has a dated preface (1860). This copy does not have a date, not on the title and not on the preface either. Of the work, never shy about the importance of his books, Neville states: "The present work is really a masterpiece, as it provides an essentially complete picture of the state of chemistry and chemical technology in the middle of the nineteenth century." / "A compilation of the latest and most improved processes used in chemical manufactures. Information was drawn from scientists and manufacturing chemists. Processes are described in minute details so as to render them useful and practical. Vol. II has a few supplementary notes by E.N. Horsford (1818-1893)." â" Cole. REFERENCES: Cole 966; Neville II, p. 205; Partington IV, p. 437. EXTRA POSTAGE WILL APPLY.

I think I shall gratify a rational curiosity of my readers (however much they may condemn my vanity) if I give his reply in full: 'Mr Dear Sir, "Though I have a great disinclination in general to be the object of literary oblations and compliments, yet in the present instance, I have enjoyed your writings with such peculiar relish, & been so drawn toward the author by the qualities of head and heart evinced in them, that I confess I feel gratified by a dedication, over flattering as I may deem it, which may serve :it's an outward sign that we are cordially linked together in sympathies & friendship.Ever, my dear Sir, Yours, very truly, Washington Irving.'Nov,1851. I had been personally presented to Mr. Irving for the first time, only a year before, under the introduction of my good friend, Mr. Clark (the veteran Editor of the old Knickerbocker in its palmy days). Thereafter I had met him from time to time, and had paid a charming visit to his delightful home of Sunnyside. But it was after the date of the publication of this book, & during the summer of 1852, that I saw Mr. Irving more familiarly, & came to appreciate more fully that charming bonhomie, and geniality in his character, which we all recognize so constantly in his writings, & if I set down here a few recollections of that pleasant intercourse, they will, I am sure, more than make good the place of the old letter of Dedication, & will serve to keep alive the association 1 wish to cherish, between my little book & the name of the distinguished author who so kindly showed me his favor. I saw Mr. Irving afterward repeatedly in New York & passed two delightful days at Sunnyside. I can never forget a drive with him upon a crisp autumn morning through Sleepy Hollow, and all the notable localities of his neighborhood, in the course of which he kindly called my attention in the most unaffected & incidental way to those which had been specially illustrated by his pen & with a rare humor recounted to me some of his boyish adventures among the old Dutch farmers of this region. Most of all, it is impossible for me to forget the rare kindliness of his manner, his friendly suggestions, and the beaming expression of his eye. I met it last, at the little stile, from which I strolled away to the station at Deamian; and when I saw the kind face again, it was in the coffin, at the little church, where he attended service." ; a near FINE copy, with a very few marks, slight foxing, scarce important 19th century American popular fiction.
