National Institute of Standards and Technology, 1998. Staple bound illustrated pamphlet printed by the NIST Office of Information Services.

Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler was appointed the first Superintendent of the Survey of the Coast by President Madison in 1816.

This book comes from the collection of Edward Lebetkin, my father, and the proprietor of the antique tool store above Roy Underhill's Woodwright’s School in downtown Pittsboro, NC, which recently closed after a 14 year run. I am selling many more books from my dad's shelves that he used to research his inventory. If you are a serious woodworker, check out my store for more wonderful titles like this one.

Good condition. Solid copy with clean pages & some shelf wear. Isolated spot of wear to the top right of the front cover.
