Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Octavo, [22.5/9inches], full gilt-embossed bluish-gray calf sans dust jacket, -as issued-, pp. xx. 804, indexed 27 pages of advertisements subsequent to the text. Fully illustrated.

It was around this time that the company began to really prosper. Greener was a firm believer in the concept of muzzleloaders and refused to make any breechloaders. Hence, his son, William Wellington Greener, struck out a line of his own (the W.W. Greener company) and produced his first breechloader in 1864.

William Wellington Greener was responsible for several innovations, as described in the sections below, and it was on the strength of his inventions that the company became famous. Under W.W. Greener, the company established offices in Birmingham, London, Hull, Montreal and New York City.…
