Thomas Jones
When he published this book in 1817, Thomas Jones had made and sold about three hundred Englefield mountain barometers. Made to measure air pressure, the barometers could be used to calculate the altitude of mountains and the depths of mines, with the help of the logarithm tables Jones provides in this book.
