Pictorial Encyclopedia of Trades and Industries, Volume II, by Denis Diderot. 535 Pages. Softbound. This, the Second Volume of Denis Diderot's "Encyclopedie" is a continuation of the first volume. Included are collection of plates on trade and industry taken from the 'Encyclopedie.' Its chapters include plates of glass making; masonry and carpentry; textiles; paper and printing; leather; gold, silver, and jewelry; fashion; and other trades. The plates are so clear and detailed that an engineer could actually use them as working drawings--and many did. An excellent opportunity to add this essential reference to the library at an opportunity price. $31.95 (BK-0187)
