James Ferguson Letters to James Beresford
The collection consists of six letters written by the Scottish-born astronomer and instrument maker James Ferguson to the mathematics teacher James Beresford. The letters were written while Ferguson was on lecture tours through Newcastle, Cheadle, and Derby, England, teaching experimental philosophy. Included are detailed drawings of clocks which Ferguson invented or made improvement to, including one by Benjamin Franklin. In his letter dated Oct. 22, 1771, is a detailed drawing and explanation of one of his clocks which shows the \phases of the moon, the motion of the earth, the vicissitudes of the seasons, the places of the earth which are enlightened by the sun at any time of inspection, with the length of the days and nights at all times of the year, at all places of the earth.\ Of interest is a drawing of \Mr. Cox's Perpetual Motion\ clock, which was displayed at Cox's Museum. Ferguson saw it and was the first person to refer to it in his commonplace book (1769). His testimonial as to the ingenuity of Cox' clock was quoted in Cox's museum catalogue, a clipping of which is attached to Ferguson's letter dated Feb. 28, 1774. All the drawings include keys to the parts, and very detailed explanations of the mechanisms. On the same sheet as one of Ferguson's drawings are some notes by James Beresford. In addition to the clocks, Ferguson also gives Beresford an account of three towns he is visiting, his lectures, and the number of \subscribers\ attending his classes.
