1396429 Gilmore Place Edinburgh. 14 August 1820. 1p. 4to. 26 lines closely and neatly written. Good on disbound leaf of aged and worn paper. The letter begins: 'Gentlemen The Patents Models Advertising and plates &c of the engine to which the accompanying descriptions not present refer and which the note in the Edinburgh Philosophical Journal shows how the first trial succeeded has been much more expensive than I calculated on or had any idea of - From the number of enquiries however the chances of a tolerable return are considerable; but like all other things much different from established custom it will require time before it can be known and adopted to reimburse me.' As it would prove expensive to borrow 'by bills at short dates the money that may be still necessary to enable me to appear as the respectable profession of an Engineer requires and also to defray the expence of the further promulgation of the machine' he asks for a loan of £400 with Sir Alexander Jardine Bart. of Applegarth as guarantor. He believes he can 'fill it up by Martinmas 1822'. He concludes: 'I am not known to many in this town and intimate only with three who were schoolfellows of mine and should you wish any reference I have no doubt you will consider the report of any of them above suspicion'. From a collection of papers from the Bank of Scotland. Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine carried a report on Dickson's 'patent Water Engine' in its issue for September 1820 praising its 'great convenience' for those who 'wish a small power for useful purposes exercise or amusement'. 29 Gilmore Place, Edinburgh. 14 August 1820. unknown

pp. xciv [Introduction in English], (1), 162 [Latin Text of De Arte Logistica] + Engraved frontispiece portrait of Napier; and a full page mezzotint style engraving of the old Castle Merchiston. Large 4to. 300 mm. Original cloth backed boards binding; joints cracked. Hardbound. Very good. First Edition. John Napier, 8th Laird of Merchiston, (1550-1617), was a Scottish mathematician - the Inventor of Logarithms. His 'Mirifici Logarithmorum Canonis Descriptio' (1614) contained the first logarithmic table and the first use of the word logarithm. His Rabdologiae (1617) gave various methods for abbreviating arithmetical calculations. One method of multiplication uses a system of numbered rods called Napier's rods, or Napier's bones; this was a major improvement on the ancient system of counters then in use. Napier also introduced the decimal point in writing numbers. The material here, dealing mainly with arithmetic and algebra, survived in manuscript form and was transcribed, after Napier's death, by his son Robert for the benefit of Henry Briggs, who further edited it. Sponsored by a descendant, Mark Napier, this is its first publication. From this work, it appears that Napier had investigated imaginary roots of equations, a subject he refers to as a great algebraic secret. SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! OVERSIZE BX 4
