One thousand processes in manufactures and experiments in chemistry / [Colin Mackenzie].

Colin Mackenzie · 1825 · London : G.B. Whittaker, 1825. · 84 pictures

A practical handbook of manufacturing recipes and chemical experiments compiled by Colin Mackenzie, published in London by G.B. Whittaker in 1825 for tradesmen, manufacturers, and amateur experimenters. The woodcuts show benchtop apparatus in plain outline with letter keys: retorts, gas jars, bladders, spirit lamps, coiled worms and stands, useful for line-drawn diagram motifs and annotated equipment silhouettes.
