Charles Hutton
Charles Hutton (1737–1823) was professor of mathematics at the Royal Military Academy when he published this two-volume encyclopaedia in 1795–6. He aimed to cover contemporary mathematics and natural philosophy, as well as engineering. The excellent historical and biographical articles make the work a valuable record of eighteenth-century science.
