Hardcover. 8vo, viii, 338pp, [1], [4pp catalogue]. Red cloth, title stamped in gilt on spine. Signed and inscribed on the flyleaf by the Scottish-born industrialist and philanthropist who earned his fortune in the burgeoning American steel industry, "To my Friends / Mr + Ms Dull / with kind regards / Andrew Carnegie / New York / July 31/88" in black ink.

An interesting book totally unrelated to business, essentially a travel narrative recounting Carnegie's carriage journey through the British countryside, with reflections on British culture and society. The title refers to the "four-in-hand" driving style, where a team of four horses is controlled by a single driver.
