Sinossi
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Coach-Building, Historical and Descriptive: Containing Full Information on the Various Trades and Processes Involved, With Hints on the Proper Keeping of Carriages, &C
IT is singular that such an important industry as coach-building should have received such slight atten tion from writers either at home or abroad; yet such is the case, the last book dealing in any way exhaustively with the trade having been published some fifty years ago. The manufacturers themselves have doubtless very copious notes, which, if printed, would make several large volumes; but they do not publish the result of their experience to the world, and consequently the general public, and more particularly apprentices and others whose occupations or amusements may be in any way connected with the trade, have no means of gaining an insight into this branch of industrial art.
It is hoped that this book Will supply, to some extent at least, this deficiency. Its Object is general utility rather than technical instructions on minor details. The principles on which carriages ought to be con structed, rather than the arbitrary proportions of parts, are what the author has sought to make clear.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the fascinating world of coach-building, a craft that has long been overlooked by writers. The author delves into the historical evolution of carriages, tracing their origins from the earliest forms of wheeled transport in ancient Egypt and Rome, through the introduction of coaches in Europe, and finally to their development in England. The book explores the materials used in coach-building, from various types of wood to iron, steel, and leather, and examines the construction techniques employed for different types of carriages. Beyond its technical aspects, the book reveals the social and cultural significance of carriages throughout history. The author explores the resistance to the use of coaches by the elite and the rivalry between different types of carriages, such as coaches, sedans, and gigs. The book also highlights the importance of carriages in commercial travel and the rise of stage coaches, which played a vital role in transportation and communication in the 18th and 19th centuries. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful account of the development and significance of coach-building, offering a unique perspective on a craft that has played a crucial role in shaping our history and transportation systems.
