A Scottish Regency mahogany cased sympiesometer, by Adie & Son, early 19th century, the silvered brass plate with Fahrenheit thermometer and sympiesometer tube, inscribed Adie & Sons Edinburgh, No 1064, with manually operated calibration slide to side of register, with wheel dial turning from the side, 60cm high
A rare Scottish Regency mahogany cased travelling sympiesometer, by Adie & Son, early 19th century, the hinged door enclosing the engraved silvered brass register plate, signed and numbered Adie & Son, Edinburgh No.1507, bearing Fahrenheit thermometer and sympiesometer tube, with manually operated calibration slide to side of register, the case with brass clasps and suspension ring to top, 55.5cm high, 4.1cm wide, 3.2cm deep Note: Alexander Adie (1774-1858), invented and patented the sympiesometer in 1818. The patent entitled "An Improvement On the Air Barometer" was developed primarily to replace the marine barometer. The top part of the tube is filled with hydrogen whilst the lower part and the open bulb contains a coloured almond oil. Hydrogen, being affected by both pressure and temperature, makes it necessary to first take a reading from the mercury thermometer using the index finger at the top of the sliding scale and then reading the barometric pressure, ie. the level of the oil, against the lower part of the sliding scale, the figure was then recorded on the dial below. Alexander and his son, John were the only instrument makers to be elected to the Edinburgh Royal Society and worked from premises in Princes St. from 1832-57.

A George III mahogany stick barometer, by George Adams, London, c.1760, the arched case set with glazed silvered Vernier scale with manual pointer inscribed Geo Adams, Fleet Street, London, with brass cover to top of tube and portable cistern with brass screw, and rounded cover, 96cm high Provenance: with Garner & Marney, London, October 1961. Literature: N. Goodison, English Barometers, 1968, pls. 25-6. N. Goodison, English Barometers, 2nd edition, 1977, pls. 19, 23. Note: George Adams Junior is recorded as being apprenticed to his father, also called George, in 1765 and taking over the family business, at 60 Fleet Street, London, on his father's death in 1773. He continued his father's tradition of producing outstanding instruments and became instrument maker to George III and optician to the Prince of Wales. He died in 1795 leaving the business to his younger brother, Dudley. Sir Nicolas Goodison notes: In 1790 the younger George Adams published A Short Dissertation on the Barometer, Thermometer and other Meteorological Instruments. He calls it in the preface a 'hastily written tract' and published it because his large planned work on meteorology would need many years preparation. In spite of its imperfections it is a valuable source of information and evidence. In it there is a list, with prices, of meteorological instruments made and sold by him. These include 'a plain barometer, covered frame and glass door £2 12s 6d', which seems to tally with this simple but elegant instrument.

A George III mahogany angle barometer, by Balthasar Knie, Edinburgh, c.1780, the shaped case with silvered scales, brass tube fixings, and bulb cistern, the Fahrenheit spirit thermometer with silvered scale mounted to trunk, signed Knie EDINr, note: bulb cistern is not plugged, 92.5cm high ++ Provenance: with MacMillan and Gentle, London, January 1962. Literature: N. Goodison, English Barometers, 1968, p. 160, pls. 93-4. N. Goodison, English Barometers, 2nd edition, 1977, p. 171-3, pls. 108-9. Note: Born in Germany in 1738, Baltazar Knie became the best known barometer maker in Scotland. After years travelling around mainland Europe and Ireland as a jobbing barometer maker, he eventually settled in Edinburgh in 1776. An early advert announced that 'He blows and spins glass before company on the table, and forms many curiosities too tedious to mention. If any of the curious have in mind to see him work, they are heartily welcome, from six to eight in the evening. His stay in the city will be short.' Despite planning a short sojourn, Knie remained in the city for another forty years. Edinburgh at this time housed a strong contingent of both amateur and professional astronomers, scientists, meterologists etc; he was obviously among kindred spirits and they provided a keen clientele. In 1814, he planned to retire and to dispose of his stock of seventy instruments (valued at £309) by way of a lottery. However, it seems that due to lack of support, the idea was abandoned. Knie died in 1817. Sir Nicholas Goodsion notes: This is a typical example of Knie's foreshortened angle barometer. For a full description see Goodison, 1977, pp.171-3.

Note: James Gatty is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas English Barometers 1680-1860 working from 130 and 132 High Holborn.

Note: Sir Nicholas Goodison notes: Alexander Adie is described in commercial directories as an optician and he held appointments as such to William IV and Queen Victoria. He was apprenticed to his uncle John Miller who dies c.1825 and was his partner for a time at various addresses in Nicholson Street (1804-12). Instruments survive signed 'Miller and Adie'. In 1835 he took his son John into the business. He was actively interested in meteorology as early as 1816 and did a thriving business in marine barometers for the navy and in ordinary domestic cistern barometers. He is however chiefly known as the patentee and inventor of the sympiesometer. The patent was granted in 1818. This instrument was made in large numbers by both Adie ad others and it was intended for general, not only marine, use. It had the advantage of relative portability.
