made 'proportionall Glasses' using 'concave and convex mirrors', that is reflecting telescopes, 'so that a small object might be discerned as plainly as if it
were close to the observer, thought it might be as far distant as the eye could descrie'. It is equally certain that as early as the 1550s Leonard Digges

ascribe this separate printing of the advertisement to Edes and Gill, from whom tickets were to be had. However, the advertisement as printed in
Draper's Boston weekly news-letter is dated "Boston, May 13, 1756," as is the separate printing, while in the Boston gazette the advertisement is
undated. Additionally, the advertisement as it appeared in the Boston gazette lacks a note concerning subscriptions found in both the separate printing
and in the Boston weekly news-letter advertisement. A second advertisement, with an entirely different text, and including a relief cut of the Microcosm,
appeared in the Boston gazette on June 3 and 10, and in the Boston weekly news-letter on June 7 and 14.) (Early American Imprints)

Scamozzi, Vincent. The mirror of architecture: or The ground-rules of the art of building, exactly laid down by Vincent Scamozzi, master-builder of Venice.
Whereby the principal points of architecture are easily and plainly demonstrated for the benefit of all lovers and ingenious practitioners in the said art.
With the description and use of a joynt-rule, fitted with lines for the ready finding the lengths and angles of rafters, and hips, and collar-beams, in any
square or bevelling roof at any pitch; and the ready drawing the architrave, frieze, and cornice in any order. With other useful conclusions by the said
rule. By John Brown. The fourth edition. Whereunto is added a compendium of the art of building. Giving a brief account of the names, natures, and
rates of all the materials, belonging to the erection of an edifice: and what quantity of each sort will be needful for the building of any house. Whereby
estimates, valuations and contracts may be made between builder and workman, without damage to either. By William Leyburn.
