x, 114 pp. 8vo, cont. marbled boards (extremities a little worn), contrasting leather lettering piece on spine. Berlin: C.F. Amelang, 1815. First edition and rare. “A 19th-century handbook on domestic dyeing, bleaching, and washing.”–Ron, Bibliotheca Tinctoria, 518. The author wrote several other classic works on dyeing and bleaching. Hermbstädt (1760-1833), the first chemist in Germany to adopt Lavoisier’s views, was professor of technological chemistry at the University of Berlin. His numerous writings in this field proved to be very influential in the development of industry in Prussia. Very good copy. This copy lacks the two leaf publisher’s ads at end. Old private library stamp on verso of title (“v. Böhl. Cramon”). ❧ Partington, III, pp. 577-80. Poggendorff, I, 1082-83.
