Collection of appliances and apparatus for the prevention of accidents in factories / Society for the Protection of Accidents in Factories, Mulhouse (Alsace).

"The completion of the twentieth year of the existence of the Mulhouse Association for the Prevention of Accidents in Factories coincides very nearly with the opening of the Paris Universal Exhibition, and of the Hygienic and Life-Saving Exhibition at Berlin. The circumstance has suggested to the Council of the Association the advisability of publishing a special work containing a review of all that has been done for the prevention of accidents in those industries to which the Association has from the first naturally felt bound to devote the most attention."--From preface to the first edition.
