A Brief Account of the Life, Writings, and Inventions of Sir Samuel Morland: Master of Mechanics to Charles the Second (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Account of the Life, Writings, and Inventions of Sir Samuel Morland: Master of Mechanics to Charles the Second All that the Author has aimed at in the following pages has been to rescue from oblivion the actions and writings of a man, who ought long since to have held a distinguished situation in the scientific annals of Great Britain. Prior to the appearance of the biography of Sir Samuel Morland in Chalmers' Dictionary, no notice whatever had been taken of him: the reason of this neglect being probably owing in a great measure to the scarcity of his works. The above-mentioned article, though tolerably accurate with respect to his life, is very incorrect in other matters, as may be readily seen by comparing it with the following pages. A short tract on Arithmetic is inserted at the end, note that it has any reference to the subject of our memoir, but because it appeared to be a seasonable, opportunity for rescuing a curious piece of antiquity from destruction.
