Epitomy of navigation, Containing plain and easy rules, for the working all plain triangles, and their application to plain, traverse, oblique, Mercator and middle latitude sailing; with spherical trigonometry in all its cases, and its application to all the necessary problems in astronomy. To which is added, all necessary tables of the sun's declination, latitude and departure, meridional parts, latitude and longitude of places, &c. Concluding with a compleat table of logarithms, sines, tangents, &c. With the use of all the tables illustrated by examples. First written by Gellibrand, Norwood, and Jones; and now collected and digested into one compendium of navigation.

A tutor to astronomie and geographie, or, An easie and speedy way to know the use of both the globes, coelestial and terrestrial : in six books : the first teaching the rudiments of astronomy and geography, the 2. shewing by the globes the solution of astronomical & geographical probl., the 3. shewing by the globes the solution of problems in navigation, the 4. shewing by the globes the solution of astrological problemes, the 5. shewing by the globes the solution of gnomonical problemes, the 6. shewing by the globes the solution of of [sic] spherical triangles : more fully and amply then hath ever been set forth either by Gemma Frisius, Metius, Hues, Wright, Blaew, or any others that have taught the use of the globes : and that so plainly and methodically that the meanest capacity may at first reading apprehend it, and with a little practise grow expert in these divine sciences / by Joseph Moxon ; whereunto is added Antient poetical stories of the stars, shewing reasons why the several shapes and forms are pictured on the coelestial globe, collected from Dr. Hood ; as also a Discourse of the antiquity, progress and augmentation of astronomie.
