' a work of much celebrity. It seems to have owed its fame partly to a recommendation of Humphrey Ditton, praising 

 it in the strongest terms. Perhaps at this time the only thing which would catch the eye are the table of logarithms, 

 and the powers of 2 up to the 14t.h, very useful for laying up grains of corn on the squares of a chess-board, mining 

 people by horseshoe bargains, and other approved problems.'— Pro/, de Morgan, who possessed, however, only the 7th 

 edition of 1745.

' Failing to obtain the requisite number of names for his nomination to the Royal Society, he attacked it in several 

 satirical pamphlets, specially vituperating Folkes and Baker, his former patrons, and published A Review of the Works of 

 the Royal Society, holding up to ridicule the ' Philosophical Transactions'.' — D.N.B. 



' This once well-known work is, in my judgment, the greatest compliment the Royal Society ever received. . . . Sir 

 John Hill's book is droll and cutting satir a. '—Pro/, de Morgan.
