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 manuscript, and revised by Mr. George Gordon, Mathematician in London.

Jubar astrologicum, or a true astrological guide : divided into two parts. The first is an exact and easie way for the beginning or entering into this art: shewing the names and nature of the signs, panets and aspects; the erecting of a figure by tables of houses, by tables of right and oblique-ascention, the doctrine of triangles, or by the plain scale by help of the line of chords only, for any latitude either north or south; very useful for seamen or any other travelers; with the whole instructions necessary to this art. The second sheweth a very plain and easie way to give judgement upon an astrological figure, concerning the transaction of humane life, viz. of the state of the body, riches, brethren, fathers, children, sickness, marriage, death, long journeys or voyages, honour, friends, imprisonment, or any other question whatsoever may be answered. With the true art of directions by the doctrine of triangles, very useful in nativitie. Whereunto is added an example upon every house, viz. the figure set and judged. By william Thra.
