 DESCRIPTION of the NEW SLIDING RULE of INVOLUTION invented by, with Instructions for 

 Using it, made by JOHN ROOKER, 8vo. (pp. 11), sewn (scarce), Is Qd 1828 



The inventor's own copy, with a few MS. corrections. 'In 1814 he had contrived a sliding rule, so graduated as to be a 

 measure of the powers of numbers, in the same manner as the scale of Gunter was a measure of their ratios. It is a logo- 

 logarithmic rule, the slide of which is the common logarithmic scale, while the fixed line is graduated on the logarithm of 

 logarithms.' D. X. />'.

14400 ANOTHER COPY, contemporary panelled calf (one joint cracked), with fine bookplate of 



John Baker Holroyd, first Earl of Sheffield, friend of Gibbon (1735-1821), 16s 



This work long formed the text-book of physics at Cambridge. The translation itself (by the Arianising Rector of St. 

 James's, Westminster), is of importance in the history of science as having been instrumental (although still wholly based 

 on the Cartesian philosophy) in introducing the Newtonian system there, by means of judicious marginal notes in which 

 the translator exposed tne lallacies of the Cartesian system, then still all-powerful at Cambridge University.

The author was a whole-hearted supporter of the physical doctrines of Descartes. The above work, which went 

 through many editions, and was translated into most European languages, was par excellence the physical text-book of 

 Cartesian philosophy.
