' The most valuable of the kind that was possessed by those times.' Donaldson's Agri-cult, filog. It is dedicated to 

 Charles 1. when Prince of Wales. Nothing seems to be known of the author, who is not included in D. N. ., and was 

 unknown to Poggendorff. The various books comprise : I. The Elements of Geometric, with Theorems ; II. The Use and 

 Operation of the former Theorems ; III. The Exact Operation of Instrumental Dimensions by divers meanes ; IV. The 

 Legall Part of Survey. In the 3rd book the author describes 'the use of an Instrument of mine owne, which I call the 

 Peractor, and of a Chayne, which I call the Jkcimall Cfuiym', with the divisions and parts thereof: which rightly 

 vnderstood and practised is farre more vsefull and absolute for speed and exactnesse, then any yet euer vsed '. 



Some copies contain portraits of the author and of the Prince of Wales, which are absent in all the above copies. 



William Leybourn, in his (Jompleat Surveyor, refers to a ruler invented by Rathbome, 'the making of which is so \vell 

 known, and the use thereof so apparent, that I shall not need to say anything concerning the description and use of it.'

Teaching how to make at home 'an excellent small beer ', and avowedly written as a remedy against the drunkenness 

 of the time. The work is dedicated to the Humane Society. It was unknown to Allibone, who mentions another work

' I sent some bottles of my beer to the late DR. [ERASMUS] DARWIN, at his request, who declared he had never met 

 with such excellent beer ; and added, that he would some time or other [sly dog ! ] adopt this method of brewing, as a valuable 

 acquisition to the health.' Pp. 12-13.

 soiled), 10s Qd (p. 3. 3s) [1858] 



Sir Robert Rawlinson was here the pioneer of what we unconsciously recognise as the Waterworks Style of architecture 

 and a very praiseworthy attempt it was, and a characteristic detail of the Gothic Revival. He based it on the tall 

 towers built with such lavish emulation by the nobles of Pisa and Verona, and on the Moorish towers of Spain. It must 

 be familiar to Londoners in the excellent chimney of the Pumping Station by the Grosvenor Bridge, and less generally 

 at the two great outfalls at Barking and Crossness.
