Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamental Turning, Vol. 1: A Work of Practical Instruction in the Above Art The details connected with the manufacture of the instruments are published at the express wish of many scientific amateurs, who delight more in making tools than applying them to their several uses. In nearly every case the specimens have been turned by the author himself, but he has much pleasure in expressing his due appreciation of the kindness of many gentlemen who offered to lend any of their work for the purpose of illustration, and to the late Earl of Sefton, Captain R. P. Dawson, and the Rev. C. C. Ellison, he will be ever grateful for the loan of the specimens illustrated by their kind permission.
