[N]orwood's epitome: being the application of the doctrine of triangles, in certain problems, concerning the use of the plain sea-chart, and Mercator's chart. Being the two most usual kinds of sailing. With a table of artificial sines, tangents, and the complements arithmetical of sines supplying the use of secants. To radius 10,00000, and to every degree and minute of the quadrant. Also, the logarithms of absolute numbers, from one to 1000, with a table of the right-ascension and declination of the sun: and certain principal fixed stars. Whereunto is added the farther use of the forenamed tables in questions of navigation, astronomy, aend geography; as also an universal almanack. This last edition newly revised and corrected.
