Turning and Mechanical Manipulation Intended As a Work of General Reference and Practical Instruction on the Lathe, Vol. 4 of 6 (Classic Reprint)

Fourth Volume of Turning and Mechanical Manipulation to the indulgence of the public, the Author respectfully begs leave to offer a few words upon this continuation, so constantly demanded by numerous friends and patrons, of his fathers widely known and justly celebrated work. It has always been the Author searnest desire to produce the present volume, and force of circumstances alone has compelled postponement. A reference to the irreparable loss he sustained at a very early age, in the death of his highly gifted father, may be excused, as that loss obviously involved a long lapse of time for the attainment of adequate experience ;with time, came the continued, active conduct of a business more than usually dependent upon close individual attention, no slight obstacle, while notwithstanding a statement in the preface to the first edition of the third volume, but withdrawn from subsequent editions, to the effect that a portion of the fourth was in print, all progress for the furtherance of the work made by his late father proved to have terminated with the third and posthumous volume. A word of explanation is due to those who possess the edition referred to.
