Thomæ Oliverii Buriensis Philiatri. De sophismatum præstigijs cauendis admonitio : in qua præter alia cognitu non indigna nec vsquequaq́[ue] vulgo tractata accuratioris dialecticæ finis, necessitas, & præstantia explicantur; adiuncta interpretatione loci arist otelici quo docet vsum principii: nihil simul est & non est in demonstrationibus. De rectarum linearum parallelismo & concursu doctrina geometrica, qua demonstratio quintæ petitionis Euclidis certissimis notissimisq[ue] principiis extructa continetur, cui modus novus geographicus intra planum vnius circuli mensurandi locorum intervalla subijcitur. De missione sanguinis in pueris ante annum decimum quartum diatribe medica, qua comparatis opinionibus cum experimentores disceptatur: addita de morbo puerili ad locum Hippocratis adnotatione. [...].

The description and use of the universall quadrat : By which is performed, with great expedition, the whole doctrine of triangles, both plain and sphericall, two severall wayes with ease and exactness. Also the resolution of such propositions as are most usefull in astronomie, navigation, and dialling. By which is also performed the proportioning of lines and superficies: the measuring of all manner of land, board, glasse; timber, stone. &c. / By Thomas Stirrup, Philomathemat.

The posthumous works of Mr. John Ward, Author Of The Young Mathematician's Guide. In two parts. Part I. Containing His New Method of Navigation by Parallel Parts, by which all Questions in Sailing may be answered with great Expedition and Truth, in a different Manner from Plain Mercator, and Great Circle Sailing, by the Solution of a plain Triangle only. Also Compendiums of Practical and Speculative Geometry, and of Plain Trigonometry, with their Application to Plain Mercator, and Middle Latitude Sailing, with several curious Questions in Surveying. Part II. Containing the Doctrine of the Sphere, and the Demonstrations and Calculations of Spherical Trigonometry, in which the Construction of the Figures are New, and drawn so as to represent Solids, by which the Demonstrations are made easy to the meanest Capacity. Published by a particular friend of the author's from the original manuscripts and revised by Mr. George Gordon, Mathematician in London.

Also, Many Faults committed by Dr. Harris, Mr. Caswell, Mr. Heynes, and other Trigonometrical Writers, are shewn; and in those Cases where They are mistaken, here are given Solutions Geometrically True. An Ample Account of which may be seen in the preface, by Samuel Cunn. The eighth edition, carefully revised and corrected. To which is subjoined an appendix, containing the Investigation of those Series omitted by the Author. And the Difference between Dr. Keill and Mr. Cunn impartially examined and adjusted.
