Shewing, the projection of the plain scale: the sphere in plaino: astronomical problems useful in navigation: traverse tables: right lin'd triangles, geometrically, by tables of sines, tangents, logarithms, and by Gunter's ruler; applied to Plain and Mercator's sailing. Illustrated by schemes on copper-plates. How to make observations at sea or shore. Sure and easie ways of reckoning by latitude, longitude, and meridional distance; with tables for both ways of sailing. The longitude and latitude of principal places. Tables for the suns place and declination; of the longitudes, latitudes, declinations, right ascensions, and seasons of some noted stars. Spherical triangles; and their use in great circle sailing.
