8vo. pp. 3 p.l. (incl. directions to the binder), 255. half-title wanting? 14 folding engraved plates. later quarter calf (rebound 1897) (front joint cracked, rear joint rubbed, stain to lower title, abrasion to imprint with loss of 2 letters). bookplate of the library of the Institution of Civil Engineers, gilt crest on lower spine & rubberstamp on verso of last leaf). First Edition of the English Translation of the first three books of Simson's Sectionum Conicarum Libri V (1735), an introduction to the treatise of Apollonius of Perga on the subject of conic sections. Simson was Professor of Mathematics at the University of Glasgow from 1711 until 1761, during which time he counted among his pupils Colin Maclaurin, Matthew Stewart and William Traill, all of whom later occupied chairs of mathematics in Scottish universities. It was to mathematical scholarship that Simson made his most significant contribution, particularly with respect to the early Greek geometers (Euclid, Pappus of Alexandria, and Apollonius of Perga).
