Descripción:

Containing an Introduction to Algebra, Remarks on the First Six Books of Euclid, the Elements of Plane Trigonometry. By W. Ludlam, Late Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Fifth Edition, Corrected and Enlarged, by M. Fryer, Teacher of the Mathematics, and Secretary to the Literary and Philosophical Society, Bristol. Three folding engraved plates at the end. 8vo. [226 x 140 x 28 mm]. v, [i], 352 pp. Bound in the original boards covered in blue paper, white paper spine lettered "Ludlam" in manuscript, plain endleaves, uncut edges. (Small crack in spine, white mark on front cover). A few minor spots and some off-setting to plates but a fine copy. With the ink ownership inscription "B. Clay, St. John's Coll. 1812" on title and endleaf, and pencil shelf-marks "Study C.1.B.21". It also has the ink price "10/6" at the top left corner of the front cover. Clay does not distinguish between the Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, but considering Ludlam's affiliation the latter is more likely. First published at Cambridge in 1785, this is the first edition with Fryer's contributions. N° de ref. del artículo ebc7503
