The description and use of a new sea quadrant, for Taking the Altitude of the Sun from the visible Horizon; Which is so contrived, That the Observer will be liable to no Interruption, or Inaccuracy from the Ship's Motion. And The Latitude at Sea, May be obtained with greater Certainty, and more frequently than by any Instrument of the like Kind hitherto made publick. Invented, Made, and Sold by George Adams, Mathematical Instrument Maker to His Majesty's Office of Ordnance, at Tycho Brahe's Head, the Corner of Racquet Court, in Fleetstreet, London. To which is added, The Description and Use of two Curious Methods for procuring an Artificial Horizon at Sea, To be used with Hadley's Quadrant; one by means of a Whirling Speculum; the other by a Floating Mirrour.

The complete observator. Containing the various methods of finding the latitude when the sun is in the meridian, and also By Two Altitudes, Either Equal or Unequal, when out of the Meridian; Together with A New Method of finding the Latitude By One Altitude Only, At Any Hour when the Sun can be seen, and of Correcting the Watch, Never Before Published. And also a new method of finding the latitude, without knowing the sun's declination, In any High Latitude either North or South, And if the Day of the Month be Lost, how to Find it. With a Complete Set of Tables. To the whole is added The Method of Determining the Longitude By Lunar Observations. Together with A New, Concise, Easy, and Infallible Method of Determining the Longitude By an Observation either of the Moon or Fixt Star, by One Person Only, And an Hadley's Quadrant well adjusted.
