Norie, John W.. - A complete epitome of practical navigation, containing all necessary instruction for keeping a ship's reckoning at sea : with the most approved methods of ascertaining the latitude, by meridian, single, or double altitudes ; and the longitude, by chronometers, or lunar observations ; including a Journal of a voyage from London to Madeira ; and every other particular requisite to form the complete navigator ; the whole being rendered perfectly easy, and illustrated by serveral engravings ; to which is added a correct and extensive set of tables, preceded by a copious explanation of each table
