Richard Parkinson (1748-1815) an English agriculturalist, born in Doncaster, Yorkshire. He was interested in improved farming methods, and was encouraged by Sir John Sinclair, president of the Board of Agriculture, who recommended him to George Washington. He left England in 1798, and was for some time in the employ of Washington as an agriculturist at Mount Vernon, and resided at Orange Hill, near Baltimore. On his return to England, Parkinson became steward to Sir Joseph Banks in Lincolnshire. Rothamsted, p.115; Goldsmiths'-Kress no. 17262.
First edition, [6], 255, [1]pp., 4 large folding engraved plates of various different ploughs (neatly laid-down onto linen), later green cloth. James Small, agriculturist and plough maker, was born at Upsettlington in the parish of Ladykirk, Berwickshire. He served an apprenticeship with a carpenter and plough maker at Hutton, Berwickshire, and about 1758 he went to Yorkshire to work for a Mr Robertson, maker of wagons and carriages at Doncaster. He returned to Scotland in 1763 and started to experiment with ploughs to establish which worked with the least draught. He enjoyed patronage from several leaders of Scottish society. Henry Home, Lord Kames, encouraged him in the publication of his treatise. Sir John Sinclair, a leader of progressive agricultural opinion in Scotland, was another champion of Small and his work. Small did not forget his first investor, Renton, who in 1784 became the dedicatee of his "Treatise of Ploughs and Wheel-Carriages." The book made Small the first to set out the scientific principles of plough design in print, building upon and clarifying the work of previous thinkers on the subject as well as expressing his own theories. This treatise was the standard text on plough design for fifty years. Provenance: The Lawes Agriculture Library, Rothamsted Research Institute. Rothamsted, p.136; Not in Perkins; Fussell II, pp.98-9.

Adam Smith's 1723-1790 work is the first major expression of organized study of social wealth. "'The Wealth of Nations' is not a system but as a provisional analysis it is completely convincing.

Approximately 65 Circulars in two original cloth covered post bindings. Large 8vo. 265 mm. x 180 mm. Soiling on the first leaf of the first circular, but otherwise quite clean. Very Good. XLib. With the ownership stamp of the Engineering Society of York County, PA. The scope and content of these circulars is rather remarkable, as was the vastness of the company itself. The circulars were certainly ephemeral and are VERY SCARCE today, with only a handful recorded in public or private collections. 'Organized in 1886 as the Westinghouse Electric Company with a force of 200 men, the name of the company later became the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. By 1904, the number of workers grew to 9,000 at the main plant with 3,000 additional employees in branch factories. It became the largest of the Westinghouse companies and was thought to be the largest and most modern workshop in the world at the time the American Mutoscope & Biograph Company filmed its operations. The Engineering Department alone employed 350 mechanical and electrical experts. The company began building an extensive plant in 1895 in East Pittsburgh on 40 acres of land. The total floor space in the entire plant was over two million square feet. The shop contained a long aisle in the main building 'filled with large machines in various stages of construction. This aisle [was] seventy feet in width and 1,184 feet in length, and [was] traversed from end to end by traveling cranes of capacities ranging from thirty to fifty tons each.' The largest aisle, measuring 70 feet across and one-third of a mile in length, was located in the East Machine Shop. The main function of the Electric & Manufacturing Company was to develop and produce apparatus for the generation, transmission and application of alternating current electricity for the railway & industrial fields. There are also some D.C. motors and devices described, as well as various lamps, etc. The Electric & Manufacturing Company played an integral role in several notable projects, namely the conversion of Niagara Falls to electric power, the installations of the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in New York and the South Side Elevated Railroad in Chicago, and the powering of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis.
