48pp, 3 plates [Birkbeck]; 46pp [Lords Commissioners Report]; 50pp [Dickson] 21x14, maroon cloth, glt text spine. Very light foxing on some pages, otherwise very good copies indeed in relatively recent binding, very well done. Dry rot was a perennial concern for the Royal Navy as well as builders, and Kyan had patented a new method of treating timbers with bichloride of mercury to prevent it. These various lectures and hearings were very positive about the results, but longer experience discovered problems with the costs and efficacy of the method - not least that any metal fixings attached to the timber tended to dissolve - and by the 1850s it was overtaken by new preservation techniques like creosoting.
