    Description
    This fold-out page with two diagrams appears as table 4 in the mathematical notebook of William Jones. These diagrams relate to determining the surfaces of curvilinear solids.

    William Jones amassed what was considered to be the finest mathematical library of his time, which he left to George Parker, the second Earl of Macclesfield, whom he had tutored in mathematics.
