Descripción

First (only?) edition, 12, [1, list of instruments with prices], [1, blank]pp., recent paper wrappers. John Dicas was a scientific instrument maker, active in Liverpool, between 1774 and 1797. He was succeeded by his daughters Mary and Ann, who continued to operate the business until some time after 1837 when it was then taken over by Joseph Long. In 1780 John Dicas was awarded UK patent 1,259 for ìconstructing hydrometers with sliding-rules to ascertain spirit strengthî. (Hopp, ëSlide Rules. Their History, Models, and Makersí. 1999). A printed thirteen-line ìCautionî on verso of the title-page warns against instruments on sale in London and Dublin stamped ìDicasî which are not of of her [Mary Arstall] manufacture. Not traced in Copac or OCLC.
