  1. 1
    A supplement to the treatise for finding the longitude Containing all the requisites for the ready computing and obtaining the longitude of a ship or place, by observations of the sun and moon. (The tables of the requisites are for the year 1764.) To which are added, tables of the declination of the sun, and of the variations of the declinations, &c. whereby the true declination of the sun may be had at any given time for a century to come. Also, the most practical method of obtaining the variation of the compass, or magnetic needle. By Robert Waddington, teacher of the mathematicks, in Three Tun Court, Miles's Lane, Cannon-street, London

    An epitome of theoretical and practical navigation 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

    A practical method for finding the longitude and latitude of a ship at sea, by observations of the moon; with general rules for computing the same, illustrated by examples. 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. With Examples of their Uses in finding the Latitude and Variation. By Robert Waddington, Teacher of the Mathematicks, in Three Tun Court, Miles's Lane, near the Monument, London

    The sea officers companion being an appendix to Waddington's Navigation; (which makes it a complete system of that art) containing several methods of obtaining the latitude of a place either at Sea or on Land, both by Sun and Moon. The Variation of the Needle, Obtained by the Moon. A Table of the Limits of the Times for taking the Altitudes of Sun or Moon, in order to obtain the Latitude from Two Altitudes and the Time Elapsed. The Method of obtaining the Longitude at Sea, and of computing the Observations in a concise and easy Manner. The Nature and Principle of Refraction and Reflection, as Defined by Sir Isaac Newton. Tables of Refraction, and Parallax of the Moon at All Altitudes, illustrated. The Solar System Described. The Method of using Artificial Horizons both at sea and land.
