Also an exact method or form of keeping a reckoning at sea in any kind of manner of sailing. With certain tables and other rules used in navigation. Also the plotting and surveying of places: the latitude of the principal places in England: the finding of currents at sea, and what allowance is to be given in respect of them. /

    Navigation unvail'd; or, A new and complete system of navigation in all its branches : Containing, arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry, geography, and astronomy, in a more plain and easy method than any hitherto published, and more adapted to beginners. Sailing by the plain, and Mercator's or Wright's charts explained from the first principles, and fully illustrated in a variety of useful examples. The theory of the tides, currents, variation of the compass, leeway, &c. particularly considered; and the difficulties in reckoning, which proceed from them, fully explained. A complete set of all the tables useful in navigation, with their construction and use at large. The description and use of the instruments commonly used, and some new ones of the author's own invention. To which is added, a new way of keeping a reckoning on the principles of Mercator's or Wright's sailing, as easily as by the common erroneous method of plain sailing. The whole calculated for practice, and the examples such as occur at sea, in a manner quite different from other systems; being freed from the many superfluities and perplexities which those who have wrote on this subject, have generally made use of, and abounding with variety of rules which are absolutely necessary, and have never before been treated of: performed with the greatest exactness, and approved of by the most eminent mathematicians, of the age. By Edward Hauxley, teacher of the mathematicks.

The whole examplified in journal from the Lizard to the Island of St. Mary's, and every day's work pricked off upon a mercator's chart. To which is prefixed A short and easy treatise on arithmetic: containing the necessary rules of common arithmetic, decimal fractions, the extraction of the square and cube roots, with their use in measuring all kinds of boards, planks, cases, casks, bales and packages, usually taken on board. The guaging of casks, and finding a ship's tonnage, worked by figures, Gunter's scale and logarithms. Likewise the methods of keeping a ship's accounts, disbursements, the forms of cargo-books, receipts for wages, invoice and manisest of goods, bills of parcels and letters of credit.

Whereunto is annexed (chiefly for the use of seamen) a treatise of the application thereof, in the three principal kinds of sailing. With exact tables of the suns declination, newly calculated: and tables of the right ascension and declination of some eminent fixed stars, with the true times of the coming to the meridian at four of the clock in the morning, fitted for the present season, and may serve for many years without any alteration. Also other necessary tables used in navigation. By Richard Norwood, reader of the mathematicks.
