The sector and plain scale, compared. Containing I. The description of all the lines upon the sector and plain scales. II. The true use of the sector made plain and easie in several geometrical problems, and in all the cases of right lin'd trigonometry. III. All the proceeding geometrical problems, and cases of right lin'd trigonometry compared by the plain scale, and proved by Mr. Gunter's scale. IV. All the proceeding cases of right lin'd trigonometry, performed arithmetically, without the help of any sort of tables. Unto which is annexed, so much of decimal arithmetick, and the extraction of the square root, as is necessary for the working of arithmetical trigonometry. The second edition. By Roger Rea. N.P. Phi.

Tables of the Sun's Place, Right Ascension, Declination, Equation of Natural Days for every Four Years; with Tables of Variation to make them serve for a Hundred Years to come; and a Catalogue of the Right-Ascensions, Declinations, &c. of the most Eminent Fixed Stars: Deduced from the Flamstedian Observations. The Construction of the Meridional Parts, Logarithms, Sines, Tangents and Secants, both Natural and Artificial, by the Newtonian Series. With an Account of the Cycles, Periods, Epoch's, Epacts, Kalendars, &c. Also A Table of Meridional Parts for every Degree and Minute of Latitude to the Ten Thousandth Place in Decimals, calculated de Novo Together with a Large and very Useful Table of the Latitudes and Longitudes of Places; the whole being designed for the Use of the Mathematical School, founded by King Charles II. ... .
