John Cowley was a professor of mathematics at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London, for a number of years between 1761 and 1773. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in April, 1768. He also published a number of introductory works on solid geometry incorporating fold-up figures: Geometry Made Easy (1752), An Appendix to Euclid's Elements (1758) and The Theory of Perspective Demonstrated (1765).

dbo:abstract
John Lodge Cowley (Regno Unito, 1719 – Regno Unito, 1797) è stato un cartografo, geografo e matematico inglese. "Map of North Africa" tratta da A New and easy introduction to the study of geography di John Cowley - 1744 Membro della Royal Society, John Cowley fu professore di matematica alla Royal Military Academy di Woolwich, vicino a Londra, per un periodo di diversi anni tra il 1761 e il 1773. Famosi sono i suoi metodi matematici. Fu inoltre un importante geografo, nonché cartografo reale di re Giorgio II, che si specializzo' nelle mappe raffiguranti le contee del Regno Unito, da cui ne scaturi' l'opera più famosa intitolata Counties of England. Cowley pubblicò diverse mappe, molte di piccole dimensioni, e su di esse appare spesso il suo nome sebbene su altre appaia il nome di Emanuel Bowen in qualità di incisore. Un'altra sua opera degna di nota, ma meno famosa delle Counties, fu senza dubbio A New and easy introduction to the study of geography che fu pubblicata da Thomas Cox e James Hodges. L'opera fu strutturata a domande e risposte, con le mappe decorative a seguire. Le sue mappe contengono titoli molto più lunghi di quanto sia solito trovare nello standard delle miniature. John Cowley collaborò con per diversi anni nella creazionee delle sue mappe, e ciò spiega come mai ci si riferisca ad esse con la denominazione mappe Dodsley/Cowley. Tra le sue opere si ricordano le superbe incisioni rappresentanti le costellazioni eseguite sui globi di vetro creati da Thomas Heath. Cowley ebbe anche una figlia, Mrs Johnstone, che ereditò dal padre la passione per la scienza e istrui' negli anni molti personaggi della nobiltà britannica all'uso dei mappamondi, mappe e proiezioni. John Lodge Cowley (1719, United Kingdom – buried 1797, United Kingdom) was an English cartographer, geologist and mathematician. John Cowley was a professor of mathematics at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, London, for a number of years between 1761 and 1773. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in April, 1768. His mathematical methods were famous, but he was also an important geographer as well as Cartographer Royal to King George II. He specialised in maps that depicted the counties of the United Kingdom from which arose his most famous work, Counties of England. Cowley published several maps, many of minute detail, and on them often appeared his name although on others appeared the name of Emanuel Bowen acting as engraver. Another one of his works of some note, but less famous than The Counties, was A new and easy introduction to the study of geography which was published by Thomas Cox and James Hodges. The work was structured as questions and answers with decorative maps added later. His maps contained longer titles than those usually found on the standard miniature maps. John Cowley collaborated with Robert Dodsley for several years in the creation of his maps which explains why the maps were ascribed to Dodsley/Cowley. Among his works are remembered the superb engravings representing the constellation drawn on glass globes created by Thomas Heath. He also published a number of introductory works on solid geometry incorporating fold-up figures: Geometry Made Easy (1752), An Appendix to Euclid's Elements (1758) and The Theory of Perspective Demonstrated (1765). He taught geometry to subscribers of the St. Martin's Lane Academy, a drawing school established by William Hogarth and John Ellys. Cowley died in Walworth, Surrey. He had a daughter called Mrs Johnstone who inherited her father's passion for science and over the years instructed many members of the British nobility in the use of globes and maps.
