foot 〈◊〉 Diameter that so it might in some rea●…nable manner admit the description of particu●…r places But this bulk is too vast to bee ●…nveniently dealt withall And in this regard 〈◊〉 think that those Globes of which I intend 〈◊〉 speake in this ensuing discourse may justly bee perferred before all other that have been●… set forth before them as being more capacious then any other for they are in Diameter two foot and two inches whereas Mercator's Globes which are bigger then any other ever set forth before him are scarcely sixteen inches Diameter The proportion therefore of the superficies of these Globes to Mercator's will be as 1. to 2●… and somewhat more Every Countrey therefore in those Globes will bee above twice as large as it is in Mercator's so that each particular place may the more easily bee described And this I would have to bee understood of those great Globes made by William Saunder●…on of London concerning the use of which especially wee have written this discourse For he hath set forth other smaller Globes also which as they are of a lesser bulk●… and magnitude so are they of a cheaper price that so the meaner Students might herein also bee provided for Now concerning th●… Geographicall part of them seeing it is taken out of the newest Charts and descriptions I am bold to think them more perfect then any other how ever they want not their errours And I think it may bee the Authors glorie to have performed thus much in the edition of these Globes One thing by the way you are to take notice of which is that the descriptions of particular places are to bee sought for else where for this is not to bee expected in a Globe And for these descriptions of particular Countries you may have recourse to the Geographicall tables of Gerardus Mercator whose diligence and industry in this Regard seemes to exceed all other before him To him therefore we referre you PONT STRABO in the place above cited by the Author speakes of a Globe of that bignesse not such an one as himself had made but such an one as he could wish were made that so it might be every way absolut●… And indeed with in this age of ours the magnificent and Illustrious Tvcho Brabe who is now deservedly celebrated with the titl●… of a Second Atlas hath made a very faire Coelestiall Globe composed all of wood within and covered over with plates of Copper artificially wrought containing sixe foot in Diameter besides the Meridian and Horizon and other ●…ppendances which may be guessed at by the rest the like whereof so coldly and elaborately framed and every way exactly answering it self I think was never made by any And indeed it is a vast and magnificent piece of worke insomuch that many strangers came out of divers parts into Denmarke while it was there onely to see this Globe But Tycho●…fterward ●…fterward betaking himselfe to the Emperour●… Court caried this Globe with some certaino other Mathematicll instruments with him All which after the death of Tycho were ●…ought for a great sum of money by the Emperour and are now preserv●…d at Prage in the ●…mperiall Castle and shewed among other ●…arities there About the Horizon are read thes●… words written in letters of gold Anno a Christo nato M.

An Obtuse Angle is that which is Greater then a Right Angle as the Angle A C D. An Acute Angle is that which is lesse then a Right as the Angle A C B. A Solid Angle is
