First Edition of the English Translation of the first three books of Simson's Sectionum Conicarum Libri V (1735), an introduction to the treatise of Apollonius of Perga on the subject of conic sections. Simson was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Glasgow from 1711 until 1761, during which time he counted among his pupils Colin Maclaurin, Matthew Stewart and William Traill, all of whom later occupied chairs of mathematics in Scottish universities. It was to mathematical scholarship that Simson made his most significant contribution, particularly with respect to the early Greek geometers (Euclid, Pappus of Alexandria, and Apollonius of Perga).

"In 1735 Simson published 'Sectonium Conicarum Libri V'.which he partly intended as an introduction to the treatise by Apollonius of Perga on the subject. Simson… had an aversion to the algebraical treatment of 'conics' that was prevalent, and in his own work returned to the 'purer model of antiquity,' deducing the properties of the various curves without the aid of sumbols" - DNB.
