Leyden, D. du Mortier en Zoon, 1842. 8vo (23.1 x 13.8 cm). Half-title, title page, 173 [viii, 164, 3] pp. Original blind wrappers.

Rare work on a seldom-discussed topic, viz., the measuring of variously shaped and sized containers, with different amounts of liquids, between empty and completely filled. With numerous tables, and with several problems, with their solutions in a three pp. addendum. The author, Marinus Bastiaan Jung (1798-1862), was a headmaster and “geëxamineerd wijnroeijer en Landmeter te Groede” (qualified wine measurer and surveyor in the Dutch village of Groede). Uncut. Spine cover partly abraded, rear joint weak; otherwise a very good, clean copy. We found no sales records of this book after the 19th century, nor any bibliographical record.
