An epitome of navigation: containing some problems geometrical: the doctrine of plain and spherical triangles, and their application in plain, mercator and great circle sailing; as also in astronomy and geography, and rules for finding the variation of the compass, and correcting the course. Together with tables of the sun and stars right ascension and declination. Of the latitude and longitude of places of meridional parts. Likewise a traverse-table, a perpetual almanack, and other things very useful in the art of navigation. And the logarithmical sines and tangents, with the logarithms and natural numbers from 1 to 10000, according to those exact tables formerly set forth. By Henry Gellibrand, professor of astronomy in Gresham-College
