Geometry made easy; or, a new and methodical explanation of the elements of geometry. Containing, I. A very easy and concise Commentary on the first Six, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, and XV Books of Euclid, and the most material Propositions of Archimedes, concerning the Circle, and its Quadrature, the Cylinder, Cone, and Sphere. II. A compendious Treatise of Algebra, with its Application in the Solution of several curious and useful Geometrical Problems. III. A Collection of Recreative Problems, proposed for the Learner's Diversion, being chiefly extracted from Ozanam's Mathematical Recreations. IV. An Introduction to Conic Sections, containing a familiar Explanation of the most principal Properties of the Ellipsis, Parabola, Hyperbola, &c. To which is added, an entire new, curious and exact method of exhibiting in miniature, the various kinds of solids, Regular and Irregular, and also their Sections; each being distinctly and exactly shewn as they really are in their natural state, by schemes cut out of paste-board: by which means the Doctrine of Solids will be much easier comprehended than by any other Method yet Published. By John Lodge Cowley, Late Master of the Academy in St. Martin's-Lane. Recommended and approved by several very eminent Mathematicians, as the most proper Book on this Subject, for the Use of Mathematical Schools, and such as would learn the Principles of this Science by their own Application only.

Geometry improv'd: 1. By a large and accurate table of segments of circles, its construction and various uses in the Solution of several difficult Problems. With Compendious Tables for finding a true Proportional Part, and their Use in these or any other Tables; exemplify'd in making out Logarithms or Natural Numbers from them, to sixty Figures, there being a Table of them for all Primes to 1100, true to 61 Figures. 2. A concise treatise of polyedra, or solid bodies of many bases, Both the Regular and others: To which are added Twelve New ones, with various Methods of forming them, and their exact Dimensions in Surds or Species, and in Numbers; Illustrated with Variety of Copper Plates. By A.S. Philomath.

Geometry no friend to infidelity: or, a defence of Sir Isaac Newton and the British mathematicians, in a letter to the author of The analyst. Wherein it is examined How far the Conduct of such Divines as intermix the Interest of Religion with their private Disputes and Passions, and allow neither Learning nor Reason to those they differ from, is of Honour or Service to Christianity, or agreeable to the Example of our Blessed Saviour and his Apostles. By Philalethes Cantabrigiensis.
