titel | The Description and Use Of The Universal Trigonometrical Octant, Invented and applied to Hadley's Quadrant By George Adams [...] This Instrument gives the Latitude of the Place by immediate Inspection, without Calculation or Recourse to Tables of the Sun's Declination [...] It is also adapted to solve by a short and exact Method every Day's Reckoning, whether it be a traverse or otherwise, upon the Principles of Plain, Middle-latitude of Mercators Sailing, without consulting the common Tables of the Difference of La-titude and Departure, or of Meridinal Parts [...] Likewise By it the Sun's Amplitude and Azimuth may be readily ob- tained, without the Assistance of the Tables of Logarithims : and the most useful Problems in Plain and Spherical Trigonometry may be solved thereby
