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.

TITLE CONTINUED: Exhibited in writing to the Right Honourable Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester a little before the Spanish invasion, in the year 1588. By Thomas Diggs Esq; muster-master general of all her Majesty's forces in the Low-Countries. To which is now added, an account of such stores of war, and other materials as are requisite for the defence of a fort, a train of artillery, and for a magazine belonging to a field army. And also a list of the ships of war, and the charge of them, and the land-forces designed by the Parliament against France, anno 1678. Also a list of the present governors of the garisons of England; and of all the lord lieutenants, and high sheriffs of all those counties adjacent to the coasts. Lastly, the wages of officers and seamen serving in his Majesty's fleet at sea per month. Collected by Thomas Adamson, master-gunner of his Majesty's train of artillery, anno 1673. Pamphlet, small folio, approximately 280 x 185 mm, 11 x 7¼ inches, pages: [4], 1-16, bound in paper wrappers. Title page slightly marked, upper wrapper has small hole repaired on verso, pinhole to lower wrapper, occasional tiny fox spot otherwise a very good copy. ESTC R7897. Thomas Digges was a member of parliament from 1572 and again in 1584. His military career was with the English forces in the Netherlands from 1586 to 1594. The modern state of the Netherlands came into existence with the Treaty of Utrecht in 1579. Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester was named governor-general of the Netherlands in 1586 and Dudley appointed Digges to be master-general of his army to assist him in the campaign.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 2nd Edition. Folio. pp. [viii], 152, 151-195, [iii]. [A] B-2C . Roman, Italic and Black letter. 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 the 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.
