A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Chi va piano, va sano. Italian Proverb. 5I nthe spring of 1876 I was requested by the Society for the Encouragement of A rts, Manufactures and Commerce to prepare a series of Lectures upon Coachbuilding. I chose as my subject the History of that A rt, as likely to be more interesting than a merely technical description of the method of constructing vehicles. I was desirous of enlisting the sympathies of the Public in general in an Art so important to the requirements of the age, as well as of calling the attention of the artisans of our trade to the principles which govern the construction of Carriages. I need hardly add that I received from the Society of Arts all the assistance in its power towards composing the substance of the Lectures, and also in the preparation of the numerous diagrams by which they were illustrated; they further aided in procuring a very large attendance of artisans, employers, Who goes softly, goes safely.
