Norwood's epitomy: being the application of the doctrine of triangles in certain problems, concerning the use of the plain sea-chart, and Mercators chart. Being the two most usual kinds of sailing. With a table of artificial sines, tangents, and the complements arithmetica of sines supplying the use of secants. To radius 10,00000, and to every degree and minute of the quadrant. Also a chiliad, or the logarithms of absolute numbers, from a unite to 1000, with a table of the right ascension and declination of the sun: and certain principal stars that are most in use. Whereunto is added the farther use of the forenamed tables in questions that concern navigation, astronomy, and geography, as also an universal almanack.
