The use of a mathematical instrument, called a quadrant. : Shewing very plainly and easily to know the exact height or distance of any steeple, tree, or house, &c. Also to know the hour of the day by it: the height of the sun, moon, or stars: and to know the time of sun-rising and setting; and the length of every day in the year: the place of the sun in the ecliptick: the azimuth, right ascension, and declination of the sun. With many other necessary and delightful conclusions. Performed very readily. As also the use of a nocturnal: whereby you may learn to know the stars in heaven, and the hour of the night, by them. With many other delightful operations. The fourth edition, wherein the mistakes in the former impressions are corrected

A new set of logarithmic solar tables, : calculated and constructed for determining the latitude at sea, by taking two altitudes of the sun, with the intermediate time, by a common watch; and that with ease and accuracy, independent of the sun's meridional altitude. This most excellent and useful performance, not only produces the true latitude at any time between nine o'clock in the morning, and three in the afternoon; but also gives the true time of the day, when the greatest altitude was taken, to twenty seconds; and if greater accuracy is required, proportional parts may be taken. Whence the sun's azimuth may be determined by one single proportion. To which is added, a complete theory, illustrating the rationale of this most useful discovery

Also, readily shewing the true times of high-water at London-Bridge: the equation of time for the true regulating of clocks and watches; the suns declination to every day; the time of day-break; the length of the day, and the hour and minute of the sun and moon's rising and setting; with other useful notes pertinent to the work. With the late Duke of Monmouth's nativity, and J. Partridge's erroneous judgment thereon, and his mundane aspects and parallels, confuted
