Summary "A Practical Treatise on Coach-Building Historical and Descriptive" by James W. Burgess is a detailed technical publication likely written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the art and science of coach-building, providing comprehensive information on the various trades and processes involved in constructing carriages, along with historical context and practical advice for maintenance. At the start of the treatise, the author discusses the lack of extensive literature on coach-building and expresses his intent to fill this gap for apprentices and enthusiasts. The opening portion includes a preface that outlines the book's objectives, emphasizing the importance of understanding the principles behind carriage construction rather than just technical minutiae. The initial chapters focus on the general history of vehicles, tracing their development from ancient times, including references to biblical texts, through various cultural influences, until the advancements in carriage construction by the late 19th century. This foundation establishes the context for the detailed exploration of design and construction techniques that follows. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
