Item #310951

An obscure pamphlet on spheric geometry by Charles Morton, headmaster of the school at the vicarage-house, Shoreditch, about whom little is known. Described as "Part the First," though no other part appears to have been published; this would seem to be Morton's only published work. OCLC locates only one copy, at NYPL.
