Fabulous engraving to title page by Henry Corbould, depicting three cherubic toddlers operating several fundamental machines -- a lever to move a huge boulder, a screw to crush it, and a wedge to cleave it into pieces. Corbould ". was devotedly attached to art, and was surpassed by few in professional knowledge; no painter of his time was more thoroughly acquainted with drawing; and his copies from the antique may be referred to as models of accuracy and truth. Nor was he by any means without fancy and invention: some of his book illustrations are among the most graceful and effective productions of the age; and few designers ever more completely entered into the spirit of the author." (Wikipedia) Henry Adlard (1799-1893) ".was a stipple and line engraver, and a talented soft ground etcher, who primarily worked on landscapes by contemporary artists. However, he also made numerous engravings after portraits of his contemporaries, some sporting illustrations, as well as engraved bookplates.

Dionysius Lardner, 1793 1859, was an Irish scientific writer who popularised science and technology, and edited the 133-volume Cabinet Cyclopedia. Lardner entered Trinity College, Dublin in 1812, and obtained a B.A. in 1817 and an M.A. in 1819. Whilst in Dublin, Lardner began to write and lecture on scientific and mathematical matters, and to contribute articles for publication by the Irish Academy. In 1828 Lardner was elected professor of natural philosophy and astronomy at University College, London, a position he held until he resigned his professorship in 1831. Lardner showed himself to be a successful popularizer of science. He was the author of numerous mathematical and physical treatises. It is as the editor of Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopaedia (1830-1844) that he is best remembered. "Lardner's editorship of the Cabinet Cyclopedia, which he had proposed to the Longman publishing group in 1827 or 1828, continued through the 1830s, bringing him into contact with leading literary figures, and it was especially important to his contemporary renown. It eventually comprised 133 volumes, published between 1830 and 1844; all but the final four volumes appeared before 1840. For the Cyclopedia he solicited contributions from eminent literary figures" and "enrolled prominent scientists as well". This impressive list includes Sir Walter Scott, Mary Shelley (though anonymous), Robert Southey, Thomas Moore, Sir David Brewster, and John F. W. Herschel. Lardner himself was the author of the treatises on arithmetic, geometry, heat, and hydrostatics and pneumatics. (DNB) In publisher's original cloth binding.
