Thomas Manning

Thomas Manning (1772-1840) was the son of an Anglican minister from Norfolk. He matriculated at Caius College, Cambridge, and eventually became a mathematical tutor there. His Introduction to Arithmetic and Algebra (vol. 1, 1796; vol. 2, 1798) was published by Benjamin Flower in Cambridge during the time he was a member of Robert Hall's congregation at St. Andrew's Street.  Manning was also a close friend and correspondent of Charles Lamb.
