London, Sustenance and Stretch, 1828. - (18 x 11 cm). XXXVI, 326 S. Mit 3 gestochenen Tafeln. Halblederband der Zeit.

Einzige Ausgabe dieses seltenen Werkes. - "An introductory textbook, describing the latest discoveries on theoretical, practical, and industrial chemistry, with a useful glossary of chemical therms at the end. No reference to Forsyth has been located. He was evidently a physician, as he is described as a "surgeon, etc." on the title page. The Wellcome catalog lists seven items by him, but not the present. Rare. Not in the usual chemical and medical bibliographies. (Bolton, 446)" (Neville). - Stellenweise etwas stockfleckig. Einband leicht berieben und etwas bestoßen. - Neville I, 464
