The set would have been the best and most expensive produced by the companyAn interesting point of this microscope is the signature of just W. Jones. It is known that the company of W & S Jones bought the stock of the late George Adams after his death in 1795. This particular design of microscope was originally designed by Adams then later adapted by Jones as the well known and recognised ‘Jones Most Improved’. However, at the time of buying Adams stock the company was trading under the name W & S Jones so how this instrument has come to be signed just W. Jones remains a mystery.William Jones (1763–1831) was an English Scientific instrument maker. William and later with his brother, Samuel, formed one of the most successful scientific instrument companies of the late 18th and early 19th century – W & S Jones.1776 – John Jones (b1736 – d1808) was trading as an optician the Holborn area of London. His sone William was his apprentice.1782 – Jones appears to have set up business by himself.1784 – Jones goes into business with his father.1791 – Williams younger brother Samual joins the company on his fathers retirement and the name changes to W. & S. Jones.1800 – The company moves to new premises across the road at 30 Holborn. The firm continues to trade at that address until the death of Samuel in 1859.
