to Milan where it continued even after De Welz' death, but without the same
'industrialist' spirit.
The articles, many of them written by De Welz and fellow industrialists from Piedmont
and Lombardy, cover a wide range of subjects. Of particular interest are the articles on
the silk industry, manufacturing in general, but most importantly the emerging railways,
with articles on the Liverpool and Manchester line (illustrated with large fold-out plates),
the Braithwater and Erickson steam engine at Liverpool, depictions of train carriages,
and considerations on the economic viability of railway lines.
Despite a large original print-run (6000 - according to the title page), few issues have
survived. For a detailed analysis of De Welz's contribution see Greenfield, Economia e
liberalismo nel Risorgimento, p. 258, and Macchioro, Aurelio, Studi di storia del pensiero
economico, 1970, pp. 265 ff.
Goldsmiths'-Kress 3432; Moioli I, p. 49; uncommon, RLIN/OCLC list copies at the Library of Congress
and the University of Hong Kong only; for the railway contributions see Bibliografia Ferroviaria Italiana

8vo, ll. [ii] engraved pictorial and textual title, ll. 100, all printed on recto only, with nine images per
page, each accompanied by engraved text in four languages; contemporary sprinkled boards; a very
clean and crisp copy, with strong impressions.
Very rare baroque linguistic picture dictionary for children. Occasionally accompanied by
a textual guide, which is not present here, the picture dictionary clearly relies on the
memorable effect of images in the acquisition of language skill. Each finely engraved
plate shows nine images with the German word underneath it, followed by its Latin,
French and Italian translation. The arrangement is by part of speech, first nouns, then
adjectives and verbs; but within each group the order is apparently random, though
