13151 PERRY (Je von James Muschamp, pr. ; F.R.A.S.) OBSERVATIONS and MEASUREMENTS on 

 DOUBLE STARS, made at St. Paul's Vicarage, Alnwick, with 18" Silvered Glass Reflector, between

between 1880 and 1884, with explanatory MS. Notes, in 4to. Album, cl., Ss Qd [1880-4] 



These drawings are interesting in connexion with the 'Great Red Spot* of Jupiter, which originally suggested them. 

 As in the foregoing work, the author used an IS" silvered reflector, made by With of Hereford for Henry Cooper Key, pr., 

 F.R.A.S., in 1878, which he describes as ' one of the finest 18" mirrors in existence '. 



13153 PERRY (Capt. John) ACCOUNT of the STOPPING of DAGGENHAM BREACH, with the Accidents 

 that have attended the same from the first Undertaking, with proper RULES for PERFORMING any 

 the like WORK, and Proposals for rendering the PORTS of DOVER and DUBLIN (which the Author 

 has been employ'd to Survey) commodious for entertaining LARGE SHIPS, with large coloured 

 MS. plan of levels overflowed by the breach, 8vo. old calf (back slightly damaged, and 2 II. in a 

 neat contemporary MS.) ; RARE, 1. 1* 1721 



' This book was bought by Mr. [ROBERT] MYLNE [F.R.S. (1734-1S01)], Surveyor to Blackfriars Bridge, at the sale of 

 Admiral Henry Norris's effects & presented by him to L. Henderson who transfers his title to Mr. [WILLIAM] CHAPMAN 

 [C. E. (1749-1S32]. Dublin, 1792. W. C. to E. W. C.' Inscr. on flyleaf. 



' In 1714, tenders being invited to stop the breach in the Thames embankment at Dagenham in Essex, Perry offered to 

 do the work for 25,000. The contract was, however, given to William Boswell, who asked only 16,300. Boswell having 

 found his task impossible, the work was entrusted to Perry in 1715. He completed it successfully in five years' time ; but 

 the expenses so far exceeded anticipation that, though an extra sum or 15,000. was granted to him by parliament, and a 

 sum of 1,000. presented to him by the local gentry, Perry gained no profit by the transaction. He published an account 

 thereof in ' An Account ' etc. (supra).' D. N. B. 



He had a singularly chequered career. As a commander of the fireship Cygnet he surrendered after a very slight 

 resistance to a French privateer. He was court-martialled for dereliction of duty in not setting fire to his ship before the 

 Frenchmen boarded her, found guilty, and sentenced to a fine of 1,000. and ten years' imprisonment in the Marshalsea. 

 In 1698 he proceeded to Russia, engaged by the TSAR PETER, to superintend the naval and engineering works in that 

 country, to leave fourteen years later afraid for his life after humbly reminding the Great Tsar that he had only paid him 

 one year's salary. Subsequently he embarked upon the above unlucky venture (D. N. B.).
