ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Leonard Digges (1520 to1559), father of Thomas Digges, was a well-known English mathematician and surveyor, credited with the inventions of the telescope and theodolite, and a great popularizer of science through his publications in English. In a way, his son followed in his footsteps and was a pivotal player in the popularization of Copernicus's book De revolutionibus orbium coelestium. The first publication of many by Leonard Digges was A General Prognostication published in 1553, which became a best-seller as it contained a perpetual calendar, collections of weather lore and a wealth of astronomical material, until then largely only obtainable through books published in Latin or Greek. It was revised in 1555 (the earliest surviving edition) and again in 1556 with the title A Prognostication everlasting. Subsequent editions reprint the text from 1556; editions from 1576 and later include additional material by his son. Title page of Leonard Digges's Pantometria (1591) ; Leonard Digges is also sometimes credited with independently inventing the reflecting, and probably the refracting telescope as part of his need to see accurately over long distances during his surveying works. In the preface to the 1591 Pantometria, (a book on measurement, partially based on his father's notes and observations) Leonard's son Thomas lauded his father's accomplishments. Some of the praise of the son for the father appears to be extravagant exaggeration, while other claims appear more credible. In 1554, Leonard Digges took part in an unsuccessful rebellion led by the Protestant Sir Thomas Wyatt against England's new Catholic Queen Mary who took over the throne in 1553 from her father Henry VIII. Digges was condemned to death, but escaped capital punishment, instead forfeiting all his estates. TEXT IS IN OLD ENGLISH. 112 pages, illustrated with astronomical drawings and charts. Limited edition of 150 copies. Illus with b/w Drawings + Charts (illustrator). Book.

Decorative woodcut initials and head- and tail-pieces throughout. Fine woodcut mathematical and topographical diagrams and illustrations, including to t-p, depicting the use of geometrical instruments and t…he process of land-surveying. Large woodcut arms of Sir Nicholas Bacon (the dedicatee, father of Sir Francis Bacon) to verso of t-p, unidentified arms to verso of Cc3, book-labels of Erwin Tomash and Harrison D. Horblit on pastedown. A particularly fine copy, absolutely crisp and clean, with good margins (some deckle edges), in contemporary limp vellum, remains of ties. Second and best edition of Thomas Digges' fundamental mathematical work, revised and expanded from the edition of 1571, and the first description of many important theories and techniques in English. Digges (1546-1595) was the son of the mathematician and surveyor Leonard Digges (1520-1559), inventor of the theodolite and perhaps also of the telescope. Thomas produced revised or augmented editions of several of his father's works. "This edition is essentially identical to the first with two significant additions by Thomas Digges: the Mathematicall discourse of the five Platonicall solides and the first treatment of the science of ballistics in English. Also added to Book I is a short chapter (three leaves) on surveying in mines. Leonard Digges published a small book on practical surveying in 1556, but this more ambitious work was still in manuscript when he died. Thomas, his son, further extended the work and had it published. The early material is essentially that to be found in the works of such authors as Gemma Frisius and Peter Apian (quadrants, astrolabes with shadow scales, etc.). However this book, and his earlier work Tectonicon, are the first descriptions of the application of these instruments written in English. All of the early instruments rely on the use of right-angle triangles in establishing a survey. Digges deals with a different type of survey instrument in a later part of this volume. This is the first description and illustration of the theodolitethe name being coined by Digges in this work. This device consisted of a table with an angle- sighting device mounted above it. . Another intriguing feature of this work is that Digges, in Chapter 21 of the first book, discusses the use of various optical devices and claims that: "ye may by applycation of glasses in due proportion cause any peculiare house, or roume thereof dilate and shew it selfe in as ample fourme as the whole towne firste appeared, so that ye shall descerne any trifle, or read any letter lying there open" Digges senior had obviously been experimenting with a magnifying lens, and it seems very likely that he invented the telescope about a half-century before it was unambiguously described in Holland in 1608. The first book, titled Longimetra, is a treatise on surveying using the quadrant, square and theodolite. The subsequent books, Planimetra and Stereometra, cover plane and solid geometry and their use in the calculation of area and volumeparticularly gauging." Tomash & Williams The Pantometria provides a complete course in practical geometry, from the fundamentals ("A Line is a length without breadth or thicknesse") to the most complex theorems. The work concludes with the first appearance of Digges' work on ballistics, a new addition to the present edition. "He was able, on the basis of his own and his father's experiments, to disprove many commonly held erroneous ideas in ballistics but was not able to develop a mathematical theory of his own. These appendixes constitute the first serious ballistics studies in England" (DSB). A very fine copy of this most important work. ESTC S107357. STC 6859; Cockle 16. Spaulding and Karpinski 49. DSB IV, 97 (attributing the Pantometria to Leonard Digges). Tomash & Williams D54 [This copy]. The Geometry of War 45.

Small woodcut printer's device on title, floriated woodcut initials, grotesque woodcut head and tail-pieces, typographical ornaments. Light age yellowing, title dusty, chipped at lower o…uter blank corner, a little dust soiling at margins of first few leaves, minor marginal dust soiling in places, the rare marginal stain. A good copy, with good margins, in modern three-quarter red calf, spine with raised bands, title gilt lettered, all edges yellow. Rare first edition of this important work on the state of the English militia, probably a source for Shakespeares' Coriolanus. "As Digges died in 1595 there was an interval of at least nine years between the writing of 'Paradoxes 1. and II.' and their printing. These are filled with complaints of the dishonesty of officers. Foreign writers, too, were making similar accusations, notably Marcos de Isaba, who, in the 'Cuerpo enfermo de la Milicia Espanola', waxes very bitter on the subject. Both in English and foreign armies, officers, from the commander in chief to the captain of the band, where engaged in defrauding one another and the private soldiers. If the men clamoured for pay, license for pillage quieted them, or, in some cases, a still surer remedy was found; generals when deep in debt to any troops would send them on some desperate service, wherein most of them were sure to perish. Four pages of Paradoxes I are devoted to a comparison between a good and a bad paymaster; and much of Paradox II to another between modern discipline and the discipline of the Greeks and Romans. Digges maintains the former, 'In spite of the late invention of gunpowder,' to be vastly inferior to the latter, and he cites thirty points of difference between the two systems in support of his views. Indeed the English militia had become so inefficient as to make reform imperative. Captains, being paymasters of their own bands, made use of their position to pocket the mens' pay; drill was neglected, and no dependence could be placed on soldiers, who, taken from the lowest class, thought nothing of running from the enemy. Smythe, though an opponent of Digges, corroborates these statements. Digges was a reformer, and certainly a good friend to the private soldier." Cockle. "In 1604 a volume was published entitled 'Four Paradoxes, or Politique Discourses', containing two essays by Thomas Digges, and two by Dudley Digges, his son, and the stepson of Shakespeare's testamentary overseer. One of Dudley's essays is in praise of the soldiers profession. In the other he argues 'That warre sometimes' is 'less hurtfull and more to be wisht in a well Governd state than peace'. War, he declares, is better than 'luxurious idleness' With this may be compared the dialogue on the advantages of war in Coriolanus IV. v. Digges proceeds to discuss the use of war as a means of curing internal dissensions, his main example being the story of Coriolanus taken directly from North's Plutarch, though with the insertion of one phrase from Livy. we cannot be sure that Shakespeare had read 'Foure Paradoxes', though he might have done so out of neighbourly interest. In Coriolanus he uses the metaphor of breaking out in three places, though his use of it is not confined to this play. Although, therefore, Shakespeare could have developed his conception of the play from Plutarch's lives, Digges may well have contributed to the atmosphere of the play with his praise of the military hero, his claim that the 'discommoditie of our long peace opprest by luxurie' is 'worse farre than warrre', and his retelling of the Coriolanus story as an example of the way foreign wars can be used to cure sedition." Kenneth Muir. 'The Sources of Shakespeare's Plays.' ESTC S109705 STC 6872. Cockle 77.
