Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book : An important mathematician and astronomer in medieval India, Bhascara Acharya (1114-85) wrote treatises on arithmetic, algebra, geometry and astronomy. He is also believed to have been head of the astronomical observatory at Ujjain, which was the leading centre of mathematical sciences in India. Forming part of his Sanskrit magnum opus Siddhanta Shiromani, the present work is his treatise on arithmetic, including coverage of geometry. It was first published in English in 1816 after being translated by the East India Company surgeon John Taylor (d.1821). Used as a textbook in India for centuries, it provides the basic mathematics needed for astronomy. Topics covered include arithmetical terms, plane geometry, solid geometry and indeterminate equations. Of enduring interest in the history of mathematics, this work also contains Bhascara's pictorial proof of Pythagoras' theorem. About The Translator : John Taylor M.D. (d. 6 December 1821, Shiraz) was a Scottish missionary in Gujarat, then a government surgeon in Bombay. He translated Bhaskaracharya's Lilavati into English (Bombay, 1816).He died in 1821 at Shiraz, Persia where he had gone for the benefit of his health. Elected on 4-1-1809. (Proposed by W.

Miles verso front cover, shelf marks on spine, ink and pencil markings verso front covers, a small marginal tear to fly leaf & half title page of volume 1, occasional light spotting, otherwise set in very good condition. Loius-Marie-Joseph De Grandpré (1761-1846), translated and added notes and critique to Major Taylor's work, narrating the overland trip to India crossing the Ottoman Empire, from Aleppo in Syria, to Turkey, Iraq, then India, reporting mainly the different overland routes to follow, how to do so safely, with survival tips for the traveller, Grandpré was very much concerned with the relative influence of the different European powers in the places he visited, especially India, and reports on the war with Sultan Tippu.

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Elton, on reverse of second leaf, to 'John Taylor Esq.' (Taylor had assumed the editorship of the London Magazine on the death by duel of John Scott in February 1821.) Elton begins by informing Taylor that he has 'not been able yet to manage the Batrachomyomachia to my mind'. (Elton's translation of 'The Battle of the Frogs and Mice' would appear anonymously in the issue of October 1821, as the second of a series named 'Leisure Hours'.) He has instead 'sent some chit-chat to serve as an introduction'. ('On Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice' appeared in September 1821 as the first of the series.) He intends this as 'the first of occasional desultory papers of criticism, poetry, or the like: a specimen or two of the Battle of Frogs may form the second of the series'. Changing the subject, he now declines two books Taylor has sent him to review: he feels that too much has already been said about Madame de Stael, and he has 'already administered the ferula to her somewhat roughly'. He is 'equally diffident about Bonaparte's literary character', and asks whether 'Mr Hazlitt, or Leigh Hunt' are not 'the fittest men to undertake it'. He feels that to 'enter fully' into Taylor's 'plan relative to the Monthly Literature seems to require the interchange of sentiments in conversation', and that this is 'one of the disadvantages of a periodical contributor residing in the country'. He suspects that 'a London domicile' is 'necessary for the convenient and ready arrangement and execution of this sort of monthly summary'. He has been 'thinking of some regular supply of poetry, translated or original, independent of the incidental passages in the Leisure Hours', but has not yet 'ascertained either my plan or my powers'. In the first part of a postscript, he asks 'What is Knickerbocker? [Washington Irving] & is he worth reviewing?' This appears to be a reference to a footnote to the 'Epistle to Elia' by 'OLEN', published in the August 1821 issue of the London Magazine; the footnote also discusses two readings of that poem, thanks Taylor 'for the Magazine', and ends 'It is a pity the writer who so ably reviewed Crabbe, does not continue his "Series of Living Poets.".…
