Delius, C.T. — Anleitung zu der Bergbaukunst (2 vols.)

Wien: Hšchsten €rariums in der K.J. Hof- und Staats-Druckerei. 2nd edition. Good. No Jackets. Lacks the atlas volume with plates. Bookplate of the University of Chicago Libraries (and 'withdrawn' ink stamp). Owners' inscriptins on ffep. Shelfmark inscribed at rear of t.p. Some edge wear to boards and spine, but holding. Text block clean, with a very few instances of pencil underlining and marginal notes. Overall a decent set of this rare title, which was first published in 1773 and became the standard work in German on mining science. A French translation followed in 1778. "Vorberiche des Authors zur ersten Auflage" supplied in facsimile.
