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.

To Which is Added A Collection of curious and interesting Problems, shewing that Lines and Angles, (and consequently the least Particle of Matter) may be divided in infinitum; that Superficies and Solids may be so cut as to appear considerably augmented; and, that the famous Problem of Archimedes, of moving the Earth, is capable of an easy and accurate Demonstration. Calculated for the Use of Schools and Academies. And is necessary to be gone through by the Scholar before he proceeds to the higher and more abstruse Branches of the Mathematics, Indivisibles, Infinites, Algebra, and Fluxions. By the Reverend R. Turner, LL. D. Rector of Comberton, and Vicar of Elmly; Author of a View of the Earth, or a Short System of Modern Geography-View of the Heavens-Heavens Surveyed-Plain Trigonometry made Easy-And a New Introduction to Book-Keeping.

Roberti Simson, M.D. matheseos nuper in academia Glasguensi professoris opera quaedam reliqua, scilicet, I. Apollonii pergaei de sectione determinata libri II. restituti, duobus insuper libris aucti. II. Porismatum liber, quo doctrinam hanc veterum geometrarum ab oblivione vindicare, et ad captum hodiernorum adumbrare constitutum est. III. De logarithmis liber. IV. De limitibus quantitatum et rationum, fragmentum. V. Appendix pauca continens problemata ad illustrandam praecipue veterum geometrarum analysin. Nunc primum post auctoris mortem in lucem edita impensis quidem Philippi comitis Stanhope, cura vero Jacobi Clow in eadem academia philosophiae professoris, cui, auctor omnia sua manuscripta testamento legaverat. Gratum, ut speratur, geometris munus futurum, nec scriptoris, jam clarissimi, famae offecturum.

Euclid's Data, restored to their true and genuine order, agreeable to Pappus Alexandrinus's account of them, in his Preface to the Seventh Book of his Mathematical Collections. By Richard Jack, Teacher of Mathematicks. In this Edition care hath been taken, to correct the errors in the Enuntiations of several Propositions, and their Demonstrations, contained in the Manuscript Copies, as well as in the other Editions; and such Propositions as were wanting are here restored, and the supernumerary Propositions, contained in the other Copies, are here made Corollaries to the Propositions they respectively belong, as mentioned by Pappus.

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.
