Clean copy with some browning. Numerous foldout plates. Bound in modern board with new-end pages. Quarter-calf spine. First edition published in 1749. Emerson (1701-82) was a schoolteacher and mathematician. He eventually gave up teaching and lived on the income from a small inheritance so that he could devote his time to study.

He published a defense of Newton’s Principia and authored a textbook on fluxions (calculus). The current work was originally bound with Emerson’s The Mathematical Principles of Geography. The first section contains the grounds of this art; by showing, how the several requisites are to be found, by the intersections of the circles of the sphere, with the plane of the dial, from the principles of spherical trigonometry; from which the practical rules are deduced. The second section contains the practice, and that three different ways. 1. Geometrically, by rule and compass, which depends upon the gnomonic projection of the sphere… 2. By trigonometrical calculation, by the tables of sines and tangents, which is the most exact way. 3. By the lines upon Collin’s Dialing scale, which is a method extremely easy and ready. The third section shows the way of making some other sorts of dials; and drawing the furniture upon any common dial; that is the projection of the several circles of the sphere; and inserting therein, such hours as have been used by other nations. …
