Eva Taylor, in "Mathematical practitioners of Hanoverian England 1714 -1840"
(1966) refers to Mendoza (biography 871), and to a paper in phil. trans.
(1801.) "On a Improved Reflecting Circle, made by Troughton." That's a bit
odd, because the 1801 paper cited above makes no such reference to
Troughton, in its title. I wonder if there was another Mendoza paper that
year.
Surprisingly there are no entry for Mendoza y Ríos in the wikipedia. I have created one in english and in spanish, and I have treated to list all his works
