The author was a Scottish mathematician living in Paris. “This work was inspired by Hume’s distaste for the Trigonometriae canonicae (1633) written by Jean-Baptiste Morin, with whom Hume had a long-standing dispute. It consists of a comprehensive treatment of plane and spherical trigonometry together with a briefer discussion of problem solutions using the newly invented logarithms” (Tomash & Williams).
