    Nine geometricall exercises, for young sea-men : and others that are studious in mathematicall practices: containing IX particular treatises, whose contents follow in the next pages. All which exercises are geometrically performed, by a line of chords and equal parts, by waies not usually known or practised. Unto which the analogies or proportions are added, whereby they may be applied to the chiliads of logarithms, and canons of artificiall sines and tangents. By William Leybourn, philomath

    An epitome of navigation : containing the doctrine of plain and spherical triangles, and their use and application in plain sailing, mercator's sailing, and great circle sailing, as also in astronomy and geography, and rules for finding the variation of the compass, and correcting the course. Together with tables of the sun and stars right ascension and declination, of the latitude and longitude of places, of meridional parts. Likewise a traverse-table, a perpetual almanack; and other things very useful in the art of navigation. And the logarithm sines and tangents, with the logarithms of natural numbers, from 1 to 10000, according to those exact tables formerly set forth. By Henry Gellibrand

    Trigonometrie, or, The doctrine of triangles : divided into two books: the first shewing the mensuration of right lined triangles, the second of sphericall, with the grounds and demonstrations thereof. Both performed by that late and excellent invention of logarithmes, after a more easie and compendious manner, then [sic] hath been formerly taught. Whereunto is annexed (chiefly for the use of seamen) a treatise of the application thereof in the three principal kindes 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 their coming to the meridian, at 4, 12, and 8 of the clock: 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
