Every generation of the Beale family had a Richard, and we think the one who owned this book was 13 years old in 1784. He used the book for writing out mathematical equations and problems.pic.twitter.com/a3RicOM0gr

We love archives, and we love it when people use them. Get in touch if you want to:https://merl.reading.ac.uk/visit-us/reading-room/ …
