The new art of surveying by the goniometer; containing, I. A new method of measuring angles by this new instrumentwith much greater Exactness than can be done by a Plain-Table or Theodolite; which is at the same Time more Simple, Portable, and less Expensive. II. The description and use of a new protractor, Double Parallel-Ruler, Pantagraph, and other Instruments used in Plotting off, and Copying Surveys in any Size. III. The rationale of reducing any multangular figure to a plain triangle, and thereby finding the Contents of a Survey by one single Computation. IV The principles of levellingin Theory and Practice concisely explained. The whole illustrated by a great variety of copper-plate figures. By Benj. Martin

A brief description of a new instrument, invented by Mr. Caleb Smith, for taking altitudes of the sun, moon, and stars, from the visible horizon; or any other angles at sea: Whereby the interruption, and inconvenience, occasioned by the ship's motion, in observing with the quadrants commonly used, is remedied, and prevented. And the latitude found with great ease, accuracy, and expedition. With directions how to use it at Sea. Made and sold by George Adams, at Tycho Brahe's Head, near the Castle-Tavern in Fleetstreet, London; who makes, and sells, by wholesale and retale, and sorts of mathematical instruments, for land and sea, curiously and exactly finished in silver, brass, ivory, wood, &c. for the purposes of geometry, surveying, gauging, measuring, architecture, astronomy, geograghy, navigation, &c.
