A Museum of Early American Tools / Eric Sloane. New York : Funk & Wagnalls, [1964] 108 p : hardcover ; 28 cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier More than 100 pen-and-ink sketches and descriptions of old tools and the things that were made with them. The word magazine was first used to identify what we now might call a museum; it then meant "storehouse," or "housed collection" (powder magazine, for instance). And the first printed magazines were (like the newspapers of that day) printed on one piece of paper and folded once or perhaps twice--never in the book-form of today's magazine. In presenting my collection of drawings as a museum, I hope that it will, like a scrapbook, induce musing and reflecting, and that it will draw the reader back into the quite different world of Early America. 20020209.
