Lot 338
A Victorian ebony and gilt-brass vernier octant, by John Crichton, London, second half 19th century, the ivory inlaid scale graduated to 105°, with vernier graduated to 20° and inset ivory plaque inscribed Crichton London, with three sight shades, horizon mirror and index mirror, in mahogany case bearing makers label and Great Exhibition label of 1851, octant - 30cm high, 24.5cm wide Ivory submission reference: W7KCCD5M Please note that Roseberys do not guarantee the working order of any scientific instrument. Footnotes: Note: The era of modern navigational instruments was ushered in by the concurrent invention of a doubly reflecting instrument by Thomas Godfrey (1704-1749) of Philadelphia and John Hadley (1782-1744) of London in the early 1730s. Originally this instrument was referred to as 'Hadley's quadrant' after the English inventor. Today it is known as an octant, the name given it by Godfrey. The instrument proposed by Hadley and Godfrey resembled the quadrant in shape but contained an arc of only forty-five degrees, one eighth of a circle. In addition, it had two mirrors which reflected the light of the sun or a star and enabled the observer to measure altitudes (the angle between the sun, the moon or a star or planet above the horizon) up to ninety degrees. This ability to measure large angles made the instrument especially useful for celestial navigation at sea.

Footnotes: Note: A sextant is a doubly reflecting navigation instrument used to measure the angle between any two visible objects. The principal of the instrument was first implemented around 1730 by John Hadley, 1682-1744, and Thomas Godfrey, 1704-1749, but it was also found later in the unpublished writings of Isaac Newton, 1643-1727.The firm of Elliott Brothers of London was founded by William Elliott (working 1807-53). In 1850 he formed a partnership with his sons, Frederick & Charles (Elliott & Sons) and the firm became Elliott Bros. from 1854. They became successors to Watkins & Hill by 1856. The firm much later became part of GEC after moving progressively into electrical equipment and automation. It is now part of BAE Systems.

Samuel Toulmin is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1660-1900 as working from Strand, London 1757-83. Condition Report: Tube is present and appears intact however almost all of the mercury has gone. The cistern cover is securely fixed hence we are unable to establish whether the cistern is complete or the condition of the concealed part of the tube. The lever adjustment screw is present hence it is most likely the cistern is present but is no longer fluid-tight. The hygrometer is complete and the adjustment action is operational. The thermometer is complete, the tube filled and providing appropriate reading. The silvered scales have overall browning to their lacquer otherwise are in sound condition albeit with some very slight wear to the engraving (no doubt from previous re-silvering). The case is in sound original condition however the pediment is currently detached and is lacking the return mouldings to the sides. There is also a loss to the lower tip of the side 'corbel' moulding (to the left-hand side) as well as some wear/chips to the extremities of the mouldings in general. The trunk has some veneer shrinkage cracking to the front otherwise the case is in original relatively untouched condition with faults limited to minor bumps, scuffs, shrinkage and wear commensurate with age and use.
