A propos de cet article

190, [2]pp ads, frontispiece & 2 plates (1 folding). 12mo. A very good clean copy bound in contemporary unlettered sheep, raised bands; v. sl. insect damage to surface leather, a few marks. ESTC T112929, recording 9 copies. Not in Oxford, and Boston, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia only in America. An Irish mathematical work by the Quaker schoolmaster and printer Samuel Fuller (d.1736), which he first published in Dublin, from the Globe and Scales in Meath Street, in 1730, and again in 1736. A London printing followed in 1751, and this 4th and last edition was issued by his former assistant and fellow Quaker Isaac Jackson, 1705-72, who purchased Fuller's printing business following the death of his widow in 1737. This is the first edition to identify Fuller as the author. Samuel Fuller was 'the first consistent printer for Irish Quakers. who, probably as a result of having to obtain school-books, emerged around 1720 as bookseller, began commissioning books, and in 1726 was advertising in the Dublin Weekly Journal, titles that he had for sale. [and] by 1728 he has set up his own press.' ref: Harrison, R.F. Quaker Publishing in 18th and early 19th Century Ireland. 2010. Lewis Carroll owned a copy of the 1751 London edition.…
