A new and complete description of the terrestrial and celestial globes, with their several uses. In eight parts. Containing I. Definitions of the several Parts of the Celestial and Terrestrial Globes, both real and imaginary, with their several Uses. II. A short but comprehensive System of the Geography of the Terrestrial Globe. III. The Use of the Terrestrial Globe, exemplified or illustrated in Sixty-Eight Problems, with very easy Directions for working them. IV. The Construction of the Analemma, with its Use on the Terrestrial Globe, in Seven Problems. V. A further Use of the Terrestrial Globe, exemplified in Forty-Five Theorems, with their Explications. VI. A Continuation of the Use of the Terrestrial Globe, exemplified in Fifty-Six Paradoxes, with their Solutions; distinguished into Geographical, Philosophical, and Astronomical. Vii. The Use of the Celestial Globe, exemplified in Twenty-Six Problems, with very easy Directions to obtain their Solutions, to which is prefixed a short Account of the Copernican System, and a short Explanation of the latter Part of Parker's Ephemeris. Viii. A Continuation of the Use of the Celestial Globe, exemplified in Twelve Nautical Problems, for finding the Latitude at Sea; with the like easy Solutions. To which is annexed, an appendix, concerning the nature and use of the orrery, Or Planetarium. The Whole, interspersed with useful and instructive Notes, is designed and adapted for the Use of Schools, in Great-Britain and Ireland; and in the British Colonies and Plantations abroad.

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.
