  <dc:title>Letter, from St George Ashe to William Musgrave, dated at Trinity College Dublin</dc:title>
  <dc:description>In this letter addressed to Musgrave, Fellow of New College Oxford, Ashe states that he is sending the 2nd and 5th books of Euclid and the whole doctrine of proportion which is now more succinct. He is also having a transcription made of Mr King's discourse about engines which can raise water, and this he will send in due course. Further details are given about the mathematical ability of a young girl. Mathematical formulae are attached.
