The elements of Euclid, viz. the first six books, with the eleventh and twelfth. In which the corrections of Dr Simson are generally adopted, but the errors overlooked by him are corrected, and the obscurities of his and other editions explained. Also, some of euclid's demonstrations are restored, others made shorter and more general, and several useful propositions are added. Together with elements of plane and spherical trigonometry, and a treatise on practical geometry. By Alexander Ingram, Philomath.

Mr. Blundevil His exercises, contayning eight treatises ... which treatises are very necessary to be read and learned of all young gentlemen that have not been excercised in such disciplines, and yet are desirous to have knowledge as well in cosmographie, astronomie and geographie, as also in the art of navigation, in which art it is impossible to profit without the help of these or such like instructions / To the furtherance of which art of navigation, the said Mr. Blundevil specially wrote the said treatises.

Mathematical tables: Containing the logarithms of numbers; logarithmic sines, tangents, and secants, to seven decimal places. And a traverse table. To which are prefixed, logarithmical arithmetic, and plane trigonometry, in which the order of the cases is that observed in the appendix to Dr. Simson's Euclid. Also examples in practical geometry, adapted to the propositions in Dr. Gregory's treatise, wherein the help of the following tables is needed. The whole being calculated either to accompany the above books, or to be studied separately. By J. Brown, mathematician.
