Description
Scope/Content: Manuscript work on mathematics and geometry, illustrated by many diagrams and charts demonstrating theorems and other concepts. This is clearly a fine copy manuscript, as there are little to no corrections or erasures in the text, and is possibly taken from a printed work, but this is unclear. The volume also contains 4 designs for gravestones of the Stoughton family of St. John's, Warwick, though some of these epitaphs seem to differ from published versions found in histories of Warwick.
Condition: Bound in old calf; both front and back boards completely detatched and some pages loose at front of volume; much chipping and damage to spine.
