Vintage Book Lot of 4, 1908-1927

Scholarly and rooted in the foundations of early 20th-century science and engineering, this vintage book set of four technical and academic volumes (1908–1927) offers a compelling look at how mathematics, chemistry, and mechanical systems were taught and understood during a period of rapid industrial progress. The set includes Heating and Ventilation by C. W. Brabbée, a first edition, third impression (1927) notable for retaining seven original fold-out charts at the back of the book; The Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry by A. F. Holleman and Hermon Charles Cooper, fifth edition (1916); Differential and Integral Calculus by George A. Osborne, third printing (1908); and Elements of Heat Power Engineering by William N. Barnard, Frank O. Ellenwood, and Clarence F. Hirshfeld, third edition (1926). All volumes are offered in fair vintage/antique condition, showing moderate wear consistent with age and use, making this an appealing reference lot for collectors of industrial history, early engineering education, or antique technical texts.
