Beschrijving

Middelburg, S. van Benthem, 1810, with signatures of two folded leaves each, 9×15 cm, plain paper cover, [4]+70 pp., the binding is damaged: without front cover, without spine coverage, sewing intact but somewhat loose, with some damaged and folded corners and some stains.

Interesting book on the mertric system specificly for the region of Zeeland, with many charts, some handwritten notes/corrections and a few relevant newspaper clippings inserted (either relevant to the subject of metics or Zeeland). This book on metrics was published in 4 editions: 1810, 1813, 1829 and 1852. The book we offer here is a first edition, and just part 1 (of 2).
