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.

Navigation improved: In two books. Book I. Containing an exact description of the fluid quadrant for the latitude; or, Quadrants reduc'd to the utmost degree of portableness: whereby quadrants of a small radius are contriv'd to be equally useful, and as exact as the largest quadrant now in use. By which travellers and others, with these protable instruments, may be able to take any observations, on land or sea, to greater exactness than with the largest quadrant yet invented. Design'd for the further improvement of astronomy, and the correction of table belonging thereto. Of principal use at sea, in finding the latitude of places, when the horizon is any way obscured, to the same exactness as in the clearest weather; and also by the fix'd stars, with the same certainty as by the sun: whereby there will be more frequent opportunities for finding the latitude, when no other instrument can be of service. Book II. An essay on the discovery of the longitude, by a new invention of an everlasting Horometer. Founded on the most unerring principles of nature. With copper plates of the instuments, &c. By Captain Jacob Rowe.

Navigation compleated: Being a new method never before attain'd to by any. Whereby the true longitude of any place in the world may be found, whether differing in longitude only, or both in longitude and latitude from any place in the habitable world, by new invented mathematical instruments, viz. The complete navigator, or universal chart. The accute astronomer, compass, admitting of no variation in any latitude, &c. distance-reel and discoverer. By the uses whereof, the certainty of the easting and westing of the globe may be discovered as exactly as the northing and southing already are, and to give at any altitude (having the suns declination, the true latitude, longitude, hour and azimuth all at once by ocular inspection, thereby making the sea barring winds, &c. as direct and plain a path for ships to sail, as the land for travelling.
