Dark blue cloth, gilt sp. lettering a small gilt hand-written lib. number which is quite inoffensive, clean and unworn bar hint of rubbing top sp. slight fading to spine and narrowly to back top edge and beside joint; f/piece + xi + 240; lib. label 9 cm x 12 cm to front pastedown, bookseller's tiny black label bottom same, colourless round impressed ex-lib stamp of Derek Gair Gibson to fr. end-papoer (an eminent cardiologist 1935-2021), small rectangular lib. stamp bottom t.p. (repeated on p. 205 and rear end-paper)otherwise internally clean, tight and unmarked. This is a University of London Ph.D. these. A deeply researched and scholarly work on this highly important but often forgotten British mathematician and early member of the Royal Society. Appendix I is extremely useful as it contains biographies of Walli's contemporaries, most half to a page long, but Thomas Harriot gets 3, (he omits Newton, probably because this would have been redundant) Apparently rare, Despite faults a very acceptable copy. 15 cm x 22.5 cm.
