A48344 Nine geometricall exercises, for young sea-men and others that are studious in mathematicall practices: containing IX particular treatises, whose contents follow in the next pages. All which exercises are geometrically performed, by a line of chords and equal parts, by waies not usually known or practised. Unto which the analogies or proportions are added, whereby they may be applied to the chiliads of logarithms, and canons of artificiall sines and tangents. By William Leybourn, philomath. Leybourn, William, 1626-1716. 1669 (1669) Wing L1925; ESTC R213612 96,458 212
