	Humphry Ditton - LoveToKnow 1911
		HUMPHRY DITTON (1675-1715), English mathematician, was born at Salisbury on the 29th of May 1675.
		In 1714 Ditton published his Discourse on the Resurrection of Jesus Christ; and The New Law of Fluids, or a Discourse concerning the Ascent of Liquids in exact Geometrical Figures, between two nearly contiguous Surfaces.
		This disappointment, aggravated as it was by certain lines written by Dean Swift, affected Ditton's health to such a degree that he died in the following year, on the 15th of October 1715.

		Humphry Ditton was born at Salisbury on May 29, 1675, and died in London in 1715 at Christ's Hospital, where he was mathematical master.
		In 1709 Ditton issued an algebra, and in 1712 a treatise on perspective.
		He was the earliest writer to attempt to explain the phenomenon of capillarity on mathematical principles; and he invented a method for finding the longditude, which has been since used on various occasions.

		Ditton does not now enjoy the reputation of being one of Newton’s foremost disciples, but the great man regarded him sufficiently highly to support his appointment as Master of the New Mathematical School in Christ’s Hospital.
		His exposition is accordingly geometrical in nature, setting up the basic propositions in a neatly-conceived series of three-dimensional and flat diagrams reminiscent of Guidobaldo and Stevin.
		By international standards, Ditton is not an innovator but the composition of his treatise is an act of some note in the British context.” - The science of art, p.

		As for Ditton, after all his courting, and his compliment, he stole away an Irishman’s bride, and took a French leave of me and his master; but I value not his going a farting; but I have had hanger on his account.
