A90519	An historical & geographical description of the great country & river of the Amazones in America. Drawn out of divers authors, and reduced into a better forme; with a mapp of the river, and of its provinces, being that place which Sr Walter Rawleigh intended to conquer and plant, when he made his voyage to Guiana. / Written in French by the Count of Pagan, and dedicated to Cardinall Mazarine, in order to a conquest by the Cardinals motion to be undertaken. And now translated into English by William Hamilton, and humbly offered to his Majesty, as worthy his consideration.	Pagan, Blaise François de, comte de Merveilles, 1604-1665.; Hamilton, William, gent.	1660 (1660)	Wing P162; Thomason E1805_2; ESTC R209931	71,773	189

the_o same_o star_n distance_n from_o the_o meridian_n be_v reasonable_a enough_o for_o a_o great_a exactness_n 3._o seek_v the_o true_a distance_n of_o the_o foresay_a star_n from_o the_o meridian_n of_o your_o hemisphere_n by_o this_o rule_n as_o the_o rectangle_n contain_v in_o the_o sinuse_n of_o the_o compliment_n of_o the_o elevation_n of_o the_o pole_n and_o of_o the_o compliment_n of_o
