Speculum nauticum A looking-glasse for sea-men. Wherein they may behold, how by a small instrument, called the plain-scale, all nautical questions, and astronomical propositions, are very easily and demonstratively performed. First set down by John Aspley, student in physick, and practitioner of the mathematicks in London. The sixth edition. Whereunto are added, many new propositions in navigation and astronomy, and also a third book, shewing a new way of dialling. By H.P. and W.L.

The new American practical navigator : being an epitome of navigation; containing all the tables necessary to be used with the nautical almanac in determining the latitude, and the longitude by lunar observations, and keeping a complete reckoning at sea; illustrated by proper rules and examples ... dictionary of sea terms: and the manner of performing the most useful evolutions at sea: with an appendix, containing methods of calculating eclipses of the sun and moon, and occultations of the fixed stars ... /

By which the most usual propositions in astronomy, navigation, and dialling, are facily performed. Also, a further use of the said scales in deliniating of far declining dials; and of those that decline and recline, three severall wayes.
