Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Thomas Cooke (March 8, 1807 – October 19, 1868) was a British instrument maker based on York. He founded T. Cooke & Sons, the instrument company. Thomas Cooke was born in Allerthorpe, near Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire, the son of James Cook (shoemaker). His formal education consisted of two years at an elementary school (possibly the school of John Whitaker, also of Allerthorpe), but he continued learning after this and he taught himself navigation and astronomy with the intention of becoming a sailor. His mother dissuaded him from that career and in 1829 he moved to York and worked as a mathematics schoolmaster at the Rev. Schackley''s School in Ogleforth, near York Minster. He also taught in various ladies'' schools to increase his income.
