An epitome of theoretical and practical navigation, [electronic resource] : containing a complete system of that art, greatly improved, (and widely different from the present laborious, and, in some respects, erroneous Method of Teaching) from self-evident Demonstration, founded on many Years Experience in the several Voyages made by the Author; more particularly, That to St. Helena, when appointed by the Royal Society, to observe the transit of Venus over the sun. This Work is arranged under the following Heads, in a more easy and accurate manner than any hitherto published, viz. Chronology; the Theory of Tides; magnetism, and the variation of the needle; Geography, with a large Table of the Latitude and Longitude of Places in Europe, Asia, Africa and America; together with the Times of High Water at the principal Places; Geometry; the construction of logarithms; plane trigonometry, with their Application to Navigation; The Method of making Sea Charts, finding the Latitude and Longitude of a Ship, and the Variation of the Compass: With a new table, shewing the Times of the Rising and Setting of the Sun, Moon and Stars; Also the Manner of finding the Lee-Way, the Set and Drift of Currents, and to Correct the Dead Reckoning, &c. All of which are exemplified in a journal from the Downs through the Channel, from the Lizard to Madeira, and from Teneriff to S.. Helena, with the Author's Remarks thereon; As also the Form of keeping a Journal, and of collecting, with the greatest Facility, the Particulars thereof. By Robt. Waddington, teacher of Mathematics, Late Mathematical Master of the Royal Academy at Portsmouth.

Together with all the necessary Tables, and their Explanations. To which are added, Tables of the Time the Moon passes the Meridian of London, and her Declination, for the Years 1763 and 1764.
