Norwood's system of navigation: teaching the whole art, in a way more familiar, easie, and practical, than hath been hitherto done. 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 ... Spherical triangles; and their use in great circle sailing. The use of the globes, azimuth compass for variation. And also of sea-gunnery. The description and use of a new instrument, called Encyclologium, or the sliding circles; which, with ease, resolves all questions of proportion, trigonometry, arithmetick, square and cube root, gunnery, mensuration, and dyalling. By Matthew Norwood, teacher of Mathematical arts
