The Life of Sir David Wilkie
  • With his Journals, Tours, and Critical Remarks on Works of Art
  • Volume 3
  • Allan Cunningham
  • Published online:

    First published in:
    1843
  • Sir David Wilkie (1785–1841) is often called the first truly international British artist. This three-volume biography, published in 1843, two years after Wilkie's sudden death while on a tour of the Mediterranean, and containing extracts from his journals and letters, remains an indispensable source for his life and works. Born in Scotland, Wilkie became a student at the Royal Academy in 1805, and in the following years the uncompromising realism of his scenes from rural life made his name known and attracted royal patronage: he was appointed 'the King's Limner in Scotland' by George IV. This work was compiled by his friend, the poet and critic Allan Cunningham (1784–1842), who himself died shortly after correcting the proofs: it was seen through the press by his son. Volume 3 continues the narrative from 1828, through Wilkie's appointment as the King's Painter in Ordinary in 1830, to his early death.

  • 1. Def. The reciprocal (1/N) of any number (N) will be termed a Binal, Tertial, Quintal, ... Decimal, ... r-mal fraction, when expressed in the scale whose radix is r = 2, 3, 4, ... 10, ... r respectively. In this paper the developments will be given for the most part in a general form in the r-scale; the examples will be in the scales of r = 3 and 5. The notation is similar to that of ordinary decimals. Thus (see Tables at end):

  • Binal Fractions. The reciprocals (1/N) of any number (N) will be termed Binal Fractions, or shortly Binals, when expressed in the binary scale. The notation used is similar to that of ordinary decimals. Thus (see table at end):

    1°. A point is used to mark the beginning of the fraction.

    2°. The binal (1/N) consists of a certain sequence of ciphers and units (the only digits used) to the right of the point; partly non-recurrent and partly recurrent.
