In this work, which was never completed, the autlior first introduced the graphical and geometrical methods of 

 Mobius, Culmann, etc., as applicable to elementary mathematics.

'Clifford was one of the earliest mathematicians of the latter half of this century to advocate the use of graphical 

 and geometrical methods in preference to analysis. His remarkable felicity of illustration and power of seizing analogies 

 made him one of the most brilliant expounders of mathematical principles.'— IF. W. li. Ball.

The author claims to have been the first to invent a contrivance by which flax, hemp, hops, etc., can be dried by 

 currents of heated air, with a considerable saving of fuel, and safety from danger by fire. The work was unknown to 

 Poggendortr.

with still ruder woodcut portrait, 16mo. sheep {sound copy), lOs 1767 



One of the last editions publi.shed of this well-known work, the most popular book on arithmetic for over a century, and 

 still a commonplace for arithmetical accuracy.

Both the above works were supposed by Prof, de Morgan to be forgeries, a view however since discredited. The latter 

 contains commendatory poems by William Leybourn, William Salmon, etc.

' He determined the explicit form of a sextic equation, on the solution oi which he showed that that of the general 

 quintic depended. . . . Cockle's contributions to the theory of differential ecjuations were also noteworthy. He found 

 that from any rational and entire algebraic equation of the degree n, whereof the coefficients are functions of a single 

 parameter, it is possible to derive a linear differential equation of the order n — 1, which is satisfied by any one of the roots 

 of the algebraic equation. From this discovery the theory of differential resolvents was evolved. He was the first to 

 discover and develop the properties of those functions called criticoids or diflferential invariants.'— D. N. B.
