This comprehensive Edwardian technical manual, authored by Wilfrid J. Lineham—the former Head of the Engineering Department at the Goldsmiths’ Institute—was a definitive resource for students and practitioners at the turn of the century. Published by Chapman and Hall in 1904, this seventh edition is divided into two primary sections covering Workshop Practice and Theory, featuring detailed illustrations and a frontispiece showing the fitting and machining workshops of the era. The book is in fair antiquarian condition, showing wear including a detached and heavily frayed spine, substantial scuffing and loss to the cloth boards, and widespread foxing and toning throughout the internal pages; however, it remains a valuable reference for those interested in the historical development of engineering education and industrial processes.
