The practical navigator, and seaman's new daily assistant. Being a complete system of practical navigation, improved, and rendered easy to any common capacity. The whole exemplified in a journal kept from London to Madeira, and back to England. Wherein IS Shewn, How to allow for Lee-Way, Variation, Heave of the Sea, Set of the Currents, &c. and to correct the dead Reckoning by an Observation, in all Cases. The Method of Mooring, Unmooring, and Working a Ship in all difficult Cases at Sea, on a Lee Shore, or coming into Harbour. The Manner of Managing the great Guns; of Forming the Line; of an Engagement at Sea; and of Surveying Coasts and Harbours; with an Explanation of the Sea Terms.
