. . . . .....................Mainly from the published works of scientific instrument makers and dealers W. & S. Jones. Sir William Jones (1763-1831), an optician and instrument maker later formed a partnership with his younger brother Samuel Jones. W. & S. Jones were among the greatest scientific instrument makers in London during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. W. & S. Jones published The Description and Use of a New Portable Orrery to promote their instruments and to describe their use. They worked at 135 Holborn from 1792 to 1800, and at 30 Holborn from 1800 to 1860. 8vo, All are dated 1799 but the book of origin is as yet unascertained

all are £15 and dated 1799 unless stated otherwise

Some are possibly from Adams, G. ASTRONOMICAL AND GEOGRAPHICAL ESSAYS London: W. & S. Jones, 4th edition, 179 8vo, "containing A Full and Comprehensive view, on a New Plan of the General Principles of Astronomy; The use of the Celestial and Terrestrial Globes, exemplified in a greater variety of problems, than are to be found i in any other work: The Description and Use of the most improved Planetarium, Tellurian, and Lunatium; and also An Introduction to Practical Astronomy."
