Beide arbeiteten u. a. für König George III. und die British East India Company. "He (Adams Jr.) also wrote largely on the use of mathematical instruments, and his books on that subject were highly valued" (DNB). Der Textteil enthält u. a. ein ausführliches Verzeichnis der mathematischen und physikalischen Instrumente, die von Adams Jr. in No. 60, Fleet Street, London angefertigt und verkauft wurden (sowohl in englisch als auch in deutscher Übersetzung). Der Autor gilt u. a. als Erfinder des "Lampenmikroskops", bei dem zunächst eine Öllampe als Lichtquelle benutzt wurde (Gerlach: Geschichte der Mikroskopie, S. 113.). In der Verkaufsliste wird es als "Adam's Luzernal-Mikroskop" angeboten. Die Tafel 37 (Blatt A und B) zeigt Teile zur Erklärung der Adams'schen Mikroskope, obwohl dies nicht unmittelbar zum Thema des Werkes gehört. - Schönes, dekoratives Exemplar. Einband mit ganz kleinen Fehlstellen am Kapital und im hinteren Außengelenk, leicht berieben und wenig fleckig. Frontispiz und Titel leicht wasser- bzw. braunfleckig. Innen durchweg sauber, nur vereinzelt gering fleckig.
