FIRST EDITION 1799. 4to, approximately 275 x 200 mm, 10½ x 8 inches, PORTRAIT FRONTISPIECE MISSING, a good facsimile on old paper inserted, 9 folding engraved plates, at rear pages: [12], CLI (151), followed by divisional title page, [3], 4-176, contemporary half calf, gilt lettered label and gilt decoration to spine, marbled boards. Binding rubbed, 1 inch chip at foot of upper hinge, slight wear to corners, pale browning to facsimile frontispiece, occasional pale browning and spotting, otherwise a very good copy. Mudge was watchmaker to the King, and spent much of his career attempting to improve upon the advances made by John Harrison on his chronometer. He crossed swords with the astronomer royal, Neville Maskelyne, who had claimed that Mudge's time-pieces were not accurate enough. Mudge claimed that the testing process had been unfair (a common claim against Maskelyne). Eventually, however, he received a £2,500 prize from the Board of Longitude.
