About this Book Scan

Carefully scanned in full colour from one of our two original printings.

William Joseph Simmonite’s work Mathematical and Astronomical Tables is often found bound up with his The Celestial Philosopher and was meant to be used in conjunction with it. Although it is undated, British library records suggest 1847, and it had certainly been published by 1849 at the latest.
