Stick Barometers = Gloucester Museum, Christie-SK 9/11/86, X. |
"X" is signed "G. Burton"; the others signed "Burton London"; he was probably the Burton whose instruments were carried on Cook's second voyage by William Wales and another set was given to Mr. W. Gooch when he went to join Vancouver in the Pacific in 1791; it is unlikely that John Burton was the maker involved. |
136 High Street Borough, Southwark, London. |
