Uncut and largely unopened in contemporary gilt-ruled half-calf, marbled boards, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed, upper joint starting. Armorial bookplate of Sylvester Lord Glenbervie to FEP. A crisp copy of the first edition o…f Church of England clergyman Samuel Horsley's (1733-1806) primer on the fundamental principles of mathematics in three parts, 'Arithmetic of Fractions', 'Trigonometry, plane and Spherical', and 'Projections of the Sphere'. The tracts were first composed 'without any design for publication, for the use of a young Gentleman, a Student of Christ-Church' and afterwards 'given to the University of Oxford.' Horsley additional notes that 'this volume is to be considered also, though first published, as the Third and last in the order of the subject, of Three Volumes of Elementary Geometry, to be issued one after another, with all convenient speed, from the University Press'. Sylvester Douglas, first Baron Glenbervie (1743-1823), British politician and lawyer, sometime Chief Secretary for Ireland (1793-1794). Size: 8vo.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. First edition, second issue. 8vo (23 x 14.5 cm): (6) (title, dedication, advert, index), viii, 408, 32pp. Numerous copper-engraved illustrations extending into the margins. Lack front free endpaper. Good copy in contemporary calf backed boards, ends of spine worn. The pages are uncut whic…h is important in this book as many of the copper engraved diagrams extend well into the margins beyond the text block. The only other copy of this book I have seen was cut with loss to parts of these diagrams. Thomas Malton the elder (1726-1801) was an architectural draughtsman. His more common book "A Compleat Treatsie on Perspective" was first published a year later in 1775. This appears to be a second issue when compared to the Bodleian copy. Two further booksellers are listed in the publication details, and some of the errata in the Bodleian copy have been corrected in this copy. - To see our full mathematics stock click on"Mark Westwood Books PBFA" and see Mathematics in the list of catalogues.
