It was a publication by Arthur Thomas Malkin and the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK). The SDUK was founded in 1826, mainly at the instigation of Lord Brougham, with the object of publishing information to people who were unable to obtain formal teaching, or who preferred self-education. A Whiggish London organisation that published inexpensive texts intended to adapt scientific and similarly high-minded material for the rapidly expanding reading public, it was wound up in 1848. Arthur Thomas Malkin (1803 1888) was an English writer, alpinist and cricketer. (Wikipedia).…

Zustand: Near Fine. An engraved portrait of Edmund Halley. Single leaf, trimmed, verso blank. Sheet is 10 1/2 x 7 7/8 inches (268 mm x 201mm). Plate mark is approx 9 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches. On laid paper. Some soft folds to the paper. Engraved text in italics : "Edmundus Halleius R. S. S. | Astronomus Regius et Geometriae Professor Savitianus." The Royal Museums Greenwich has three different engravings of Halley on their website. Only one example (PAD2757), appears to match ours. Greenwich suggests R. Phillips as the maker, and lists the original dimensions as Sheet: 276 x 220 mm. The size suggests to us that it might be a frontispiece for a book rather than a separately issued engraving (especially since there is no engraver or other imprint information on this example). We found a possible match as the frontispiece in Halley's 1752 edition of "Astronomical Tables With Precepts Both in English and Latin for Computing the Places of the Sun, Moon, Planets, and Comets." (London: William Innys). There was also a 1749 edition of this same title which we have not seen. Regardless of the source, it is a strong image and suitable for framing as a gift for the Astronomy enthusiast.…

Unbound. TOGETHER WITH LETTERPRESS INSTRUCTIONS: HALLEY, Edmund (1656-1742) The Description and Uses of the New and Correct Sea Chart of the Western and Southern Ocean, Shewing the Variations of the Compass. [London]: R. and W. Mount, and T. Page, [1712] Engraved chart by I. Harris flanked by letterpress instructions affixed vertically to left and right sides of chart (Chart: 22 ½ x 19 in.; 57.2 x 48.3 cm. Overall with letterpress: 24 x 27 1/2 in.; 61 x 70 cm)., title cartouche over South America, secondary cartouche over Africa with dedication to William III. BINDING/CONDITION: Hinged to a mat. Creases where previously folded, several small paper repairs where letterpress was affixed to chart, costing one word in paragraph 2; some light browning. (65B1G) APPARENT FIRST EDITION OF HALLEY'S FAMED ISOGONIC CHART, WITH RARE EARLY ISSUE OF INSTRUCTIONAL TEXT. "AMONG THE RAREST OF CARTOGRAPHICAL TREASURES" (Tooley). An instrument of singular importance for navigation in the North and South Atlantic, of which few examples have survived. While Halley is perhaps best known for his computation of the orbit of Halley's comet, his theory of terrestrial magnetism is one of his most important scientific achievements. Between 1698 and 1700, Halley sailed across the Atlantic in the ship Paramour charting magnetic variation. By postulating the existence of four magnetic poles, Halley hoped to explain the magnetic variations recorded on the Earth's surface. He published two charts during his voyage on the Paramour, a meteorological chart in 1701, and the present magnetic chart in 1701/1702. The two were the first published charts with lines of equal magnetic variation I the oceans; these were referred to as "Halleyan lines" by his contemporaries, and are now known as Isogonic lines. "Thus the isoline, or line of equal value, was invented. For more than a century Halley's magnetic lines were a familiar feature of the world chart" (Shirley). Instrument, rather than chart, is the best designation of this early issue, for which the printed text provides instructions on use. Throughout the 18th century, the Mount & Page partnership and imprint went through numerous permutations. Robinson dates that of "R. and W. Mount, and T. Page" to 1712. An inspired work of science by one of the great astronomers of the age, which went on to be reprinted numerous times throughout the 18th century, including numerous editions of The English Pilot.
