Mechanick exercises : or, The doctrine of handy-works ; applied to the
arts of smithing, joinery, carpentry, turning, bricklayery ; to which is
added, Mechanick dyalling: shewing how to draw a true sun-dyal on
any given plane, however scituated ; only with the help of a straight
ruler and a pair of compasses, and without any arithmetical calculation.
/ by Joseph Moxon.
Moxon, Joseph, 1627-1691.
