Publication of this edition was overseen by Andrew, son of Robert Foulis who took over the firm after the death of his brother, the older Andrew Foulis. The press was already struggling financially during this period. Robert Simson (1687 - 1768), attended the University of Glasgow in 1702 at age 14, studied classics and oriental languages, later pursued interests in mathematics especially of the early Greeks. In 1711 was appointed Professor of Mathematics at Glasgow University, devoting much energy to restoring and editing the works of the early Greek geometers. His first edition of Euclid's elements was published in 1756, was immensely successful, becoming for many years the standard work, being republished in various editions as late as 1944. Refer to Gaskell "A Bibliography of the Foulis Press", item 648.…
