Dr. Halley, Mr. Machin, and Mr. Whiston are all endeavouring to find longitude in order to obtain the, 20, 000. You and I have labored for Mrs. Flamsteed for above ten years, and our reward, so often promised, is at last befallen us. Mrs. Flamsteed died the 29th ultimo, and has given Mr. Hodgsons son (a few legacies excepted) all from her own relations, and to you nor I not one farthing. For all my time spent and all my own expenses in attending the printing and maps, I never had any allowance; besides losing of two places which were offered me--one in the Ordnance, of 80 per annum, which I refused at her request in order to help to complete Mr. Flamsteeds works.

Excerpt from Life and Correspondence of Abraham Sharp: The Yorkshire Mathematician and Astronomer, and Assistant of Flamsteed; With Memorials of His Family, and Associated Families The publication of a Life of Abraham Sharp has been the desire of the Author for many years. Sharp's life-long labours in the twin sciences of mathematics and astronomy; the important part he played in bringing the latter to a practical test by means of his inventive and mechanical genius; and the somewhat ambiguous nature of the account which had been given of his personal history, all seemed to call for such an account as would do justice to his genius and his works. Beyond detached notices of him, however, many of which are clearly traceable to a common origin, no Life of Sharp had been written, although nearly 150 years have elapsed since his decease, nor has justice been done to his ability and industry either by contemporary writers or by modern scientists. Fortunately, materials affording ample testimony of his title to rank even with contemporaries like Sir Isaac Newton, Dr. Halley, and Flamsteed, the first astronomer-royal, have come into the Author's hands, and the result appears in the present work.
