Webber pp.54-55: "Book collecting really began with Richard De Bury, an Oxford student and subsequently tutor of the Prince who later became Edward III. De Bury. was the forerunner of all modern collectors, but none since have succumbed in greater degree to the disease, bibliomania. Until his death at fifty-eight he literally lived among his books. Each of his residences contained what was for his time an immense number of books. In fact, he probably owned more books than all the rest of his fellow English bishops together."

2pp., 12mo. 42 lines. Bifolium. Fair, on aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'I. P. Cory Esq'. The letter begins: 'A friend of mine Mr. Jackson having told Mr. Rowbotham [Ruskin's tutor John Rowbotham] that I had discovered a method of trisecting an angle that gentleman said he had done it himself, which I believe he has, upon the proposition you showed me - he says it was originally published by Professor Leslie'. Inglis considers that 'Mr. R. seems to have hit upon something he does not quite comprehend'.

Rowbotham 'is going to publish his in a periodical next month'. Cory will then see that 'it is quite a different method from the one I showed you on the 3d. instant at Sothebys & which I invented in the month of December last'. He showed his diagram to Rowbotham, 'but not the means by which I discovered the ratio contained in it'. Inglis must now 'be content to stand in the background', but considers it right 'to keep myself clear of any suspicion hereafter of having borrowed my discovery from Mr. R'. If Rowbotham 'fails in giving a good demonstration of his, there are many to whom it will readily suggest one'. Inglis believes he can 'both rectify his diagram & give a clear analysis of it'. Cory had graduated BA in 1824 as thirteenth wrangler.…
