He was primarily an engraver of maps, charts and globes who moved again in 1783 to 188 Strand. By 1791 he had entered into what appeared to be a relatively casual partnership with his brother, William; this partnership lasted until circa 1816 by which time William and John Cary had moved again to 181 Strand before finally settling in 86 St. James in 1820. The following year he was succeeded by his sons, John (II) and George Cary, who continued from the firm's 181 Strand address until 1851/2 when the business was acquired by Henry Gould.

The brass fittings are complete but in heavily tarnished condition. The horizon ring has a triangular scarf timber repair replacing a small section of the paper and there is general wear/losses and cracking to the papers.

The quadrants are missing three (of their eight) 'ears' where the join with the horizon ring. The compass is missing its needle and the paper is heavily browned/torn.

Otherwise faults are generally limited to bumps, scuffs and other age-related blemishes as well as browning to the varnish. The sphere will turn without rattles however it is no longer central within the brass ring so is prone to rubbing the horizon.

The underside of the ring shows evidence of it being broken and glued back together in one place. The stand is missing five ears and two of the quadrants have been broken and glued near the junction with the upright.

The clear and precise nature of the text coupled with the numerous illustrations ensured this work's continued popularity as a scientific textbook up to the present day. In addition the use of printed slips here (originally printed as six bifolia bound in at the end) mean that this work can lay claim to being the first illustrated popup work in the English language. John Dee's preface is considered by many to be his most important published work. It outlines the practical applications of Euclid's work, lays the foundations for later experimental science and hints at the use of magic and the supernatural in conjunction with the natural. In addition, Dee also contributed further theorems and annotations.
