Overview

Ure's dictionary of Arts, Manufactures and Mines was originally published in 1842. This is the greatly expanded 7th edition of 1875 consisting of 3 large volumes with over 2100 added wood engravings. Also included is the 1878 Volume 4: Supplement which included updates to the 1875 edition with the latest advancements to that time. It has been reprinted as an eight volume set. If you ever wondered how anything was made in the days before modern manufacturing then this is the set for you. It contains anything and everything of value as it was manufactured at the close of the Industrial Revolution. Every division of the Arts, each special process of Manufacture, and all the branches of Mining, have been most cautiously examined, and such improvements, as have been proved to be of real utility, have been recorded in all necessary detail.
