A Treatise of Algebra in three Parts : I. the fundamental Rules and Operations : II. the Composition and Resolution of Equations of all Degrees and the different Affections of their Roots : III. the Application of Algebra and Geometry to each other ; The general Properties of Geometrical Lines
A 1779 algebra treatise by Colin MacLaurin, published in London by Nourse, aimed at students of mathematics and geometry. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of geometric figures: curves, straight lines and intersecting axes labelled with capital and lowercase letters, drawn in black ink on a cream page, useful to a designer wanting a schematic, technical-drawing look.
