Mathematical Magick
''Mathematical Magick'' (complete title: ''Mathematical Magick, or, The wonders that may by performed by mechanichal geometry: in two books, concerning mechanical powers () motions. Being one of the most easie, pleasant, useful (and yet most neglected) part of Mathematicks. Not before treated of in this language''.) is a treatise by the English clergyman, natural philosopher, polymath and author John Wilkins (1614 – 1672). It was first published in 1648 in London,〔''by I.W.M.A., London, printed by M.F. for Sa: Gellibrand at the brasen Serpent in Pauls Church-yard. 1648.'' Quoted in (Asbach-Schnitker, Brigitte: John Wilkins, Mercury ... Bibliography, 7.3 The Works of John Wilkins, n° 24 )〕 another edition was printed in 1680〔''By J. Wilkins, late Ld BP of Chester. London: Printed for Edw.Gellibrand at the Golden Ball in St. Pauls Church-yard. 1680'', 295 pages. A reproduction of the original in the British Library is made available by EEBO – Early English Books Online (with limited access); further editions were published in 1691 and 1707. There are reprints titled ''Mathematical Magic Or the Wonders That May Be Performed by Mechanical Geometry (1691)''; Kessinger Publishing, 2003 and 2010〕 and further editions were published in 1691 and 1707.
==Abstract==
Wilkins dedicated his work to ''His Highness the Prince Elector Palatine'' (Charles I Louis). It is divided into two books, one headed ''Archimedes'', ''because he was the chiefest in discovering of Mechanical powers'', the other was called ''Daedalus'' because he ''was one of the first and most famous amongst the Ancients for his skill in making Automata.''〔Wilkins in his foreword〕 Wilkins sets out and explains the principles of mechanics in the first book and gives an outlook in the second book on future technical developments like flying which he anticipates as certain if only sufficient exercise, research and development would be directed to these topics. The treatise is an example of his general intention to disseminate scientific knowledge and method and of his attempts to persuade his readers to pursue further scientific studies.〔J. Shapiro, Barbara (1969).''John Wilkins 1614–1672'', p.30. University of California Press.〕
