- W3048850992 abstract "Mathematical books were printed in Georgian Britain in large numbers, and they survive in large numbers. Many of the surviving copies bear evidence for the ways in which the books were used during the eighteenth century: for some, early owners can be identified; for some, detailed patterns of reading or other types of engagement can be reconstructed. This chapter mines the evidence for what it can tell about the readers or readership of mathematical books in the period. Elementary books on arithmetic, geometry, and mathematics generally are the most heavily marked. Those books intended for use in schools – the three arithmetic primers, Fisher and Ward, and Whiston’s Euclid – have together a mean rate of marking distinctly higher than the average. Practical books teaching practical mathematical techniques – measuring, surveying, fortification, navigation, and accounting – were often similar in size, price, and the quality of print and paper to the longer primers like those of Walkingame or Fisher." @default.
