Watchmaker's and Jeweler's Practical Hand Book

In his introduction, Abbott notes that “The works of Saunier, Grossman (sic), Glasgow, Reid and others have been drawn upon largely” and he goes on to provide a useful handbook with lots of practical advice in 120 pages.  The book is divided into 6 parts: Drawing, Materials, Light and Position, Manipulation, Tools and Appliances and Practical Receipts.  The index at the front is comprehensive.
