Hoppus's Tables for Measuring 1823 Vintage Old Hardback Book Practical Measuring
✅The fold-out plate shows clear signs of age and wear: the paper is yellowed, with scattered foxing and small stains, and the edges are slightly rubbed and creased from frequent handling. This condition is typical of early 19th-century books and reflects natural aging and long use.
✅The year 1823 for this edition of Hoppus's Tables for Measuring (18th edition, "greatly improved and stereotyped") is taken from the historical publication data. The title page lists publishers (Longman & Co., Rivington, and others) and matches the 1823 London edition. This is confirmed by antiquarian book and library catalogues, which associate this combination of publishers with that year. The first edition was published in 1736, with subsequent reprints (including stereotyped ones) appearing approximately every 2–5 years; 1823 is a key year after the Napoleonic Wars. If the photo does not show a clear date (which is typical for stereotypical editions), then identification by publishers and description ("A New Edition") is standard for bibliographers.
