Provenance:The Dr. Castle Collection of barometers and other weather instruments. Purchased at Bonhams, London sale of FINE CLOCKS Wednesday 7th July 2016 (lot 7) for £1,820. Peter Dollond is recorded in Banfield, Edwin BAROMETER MAKERS AND RETAILERS 1680-1860 as born 1730 and died 1820. He was the son of John Dollond, a Huguenot silk weaver and started business as an optician in 1750. He was joined by his father in 1752 until his death in 1761, and then by his brother, John, until his death in 1804. The family business was continued by Peter Dollond's nephew, George Huggins, who changed his surname to Dollond. George Dollond became instrument maker to William IV and Queen Victoria, exhibited at the Great Exhibition in 1851 and died 1856. The firm became one of the largest makers and suppliers of scientific and optical instruments and continued trading under various guises throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The sympiesometer was invented by Alexander Adie of Edinburgh in 1818 and is essentially an improved version of Robert Hooke's thermobarometer which was subject of a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1668. The instrument works by having a syphon tube filled with liquid open to the air at one end and with trapped gas at the other (sulphuric acid and hydrogen were used in later sympiesometers). As barometric pressure increases the liquid will be forced down the tube causing the gas to be compressed, resulting in a change in level in the tube; however the volume of the gas changes with temperature so before a reliable reading can be taken the instrument would first need to be calibrated by adjusting the position of the movable barometer scale in relation to the temperature scale behind to reflect the reading provided by the thermometer. The sympiesometer was conceived by Adie as an alternative to the mercury marine barometer as it was smaller and believed to be less susceptible to the motion of a vessel at sea.

A FINE EARLY VICTORIAN SCOTTISH MAHOGANY BOWFRONTED MERCURY STICK BAROMETERADIE AND SON, EDINBURGH, CIRCA 1835With domed gadroon carved domed caddy surmount over concave cornice and glazed rectangular silvered Vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches to right hand side opposing the usual observations to the left beneath signature Adie & Son, Edinburgh to upper margin, with straight bowfronted trunk beneath terminating in an conforming inverted reeded caddy cistern cover with stepped ogee top mouldings and leafy bud pendant incorporating a level adjustment disc to underside.107cm (42ins) high, 10cm (4ins) wide. Alexander Adie is recorded in Goodison, Nicholas ENGLISH BAROMETERS 1680-1860 as born 1774 and apprenticed to his uncle, the eminent Scottish instrument maker John Miller, in 1789. In 1804 his uncle took him into partnership under the name of Miller and Adie which continued until after Miller's death in 1815. Adie was particularly interested in meteorological instruments and is perhaps best known as the inventor of the Sympiesometer in 1818. In recognition of his work he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1819. He was appointed optician to William IV and later Queen Victoria and took one of his sons, John, into partnership in 1835. Two of his other sons set up businesses; Robert in Liverpool and Patrick in London. Unfortunately John Adie was prone to 'fits of despondency' which resulted in him shooting himself in 1857, Alexander Adie died the following year - no doubt expediated by the stress of his son's demise. Condition Report: Instrument is generally in very fine condition. The tube is filled with no apparent airlocks however the mercury column will almost reach the top of the tube when the instrument is reclined slightly suggesting the presence of a very small amount of air. The scale is in fine condition with nice slightly mellowed colour to the silvering; the Vernier slide is in working order. The case is in very fine condition with the only notable fault being some edge wear to the small section of cavetto moulding applied to the left-hand upper edge of the cistern assembly. The finial is probably a replacement; faults are otherwise very much limited to very light age related wear and blemishes. Condition Report Disclaimer
