With a canon of artificial sines and tangents to a radius of 10.00000 parts, and the logarithms from an unite to 10000: the uses whereof are illustrated in the practice of arithmetick, geometry, astronomy, navigation, dialling, and fortification. And some questions in navigation added by Mr. Henry Bond, teacher of mathematics in Ratcliff, near London. To which is added, the description and use of another sector and quadrant, both of them invented by Mr. Sam. Foster, late professor of astronomy in Gresham Colledge, London, furnished with more lines, and differing from those of Mr. Gunters both in form and manner of working.

The art of dialling : by a new, easie, and most speedy way. Shewing, how to describe the hour lines upon all sorts of plains; howsoever, or in what latitude soever, situated. Also; to find the hour of the day, and the azimuth of the sun, whereby the sight of any plain is examined. Performed by a quadrant filled with lines necessary to that purpose. Invented and published in anno 1638. by Samuel Foster, then professor of astronomie in Gresham Colledge. The second edition, with several additions and variations of the authors, deduced from his own manuscript. With a supplement, performing all the instrumental work of the quadrant, by calculation. By help of the canons of sines and tangents, which of all ways is the most exact. By William Leybourn philomath
