CHA P. XV.

The feventh Method of Solving Right-angled Spherical Triangles, by the Globes or Spheres.

A

S the Globe or Sphere is the very Original and
Foundation of all Spherical Trigonometry; fo

it plainly follows, that a Spherical Triangle is moft juftly and naturally delineated or reprefented, by the Circles on (and appertaining to) the Surface of the faid Artificial Globe or Sphere. For tho' by the Projections or Planifpheres a Triangle may be described in fome fort Spherical, yet it is far from being in its due and natural Form, as on the Globe itself. And as the Form, fo the Solution of a Spherical Triangle is most naturally performed on the Globe. Of fuch vaft Importance is a due Knowledge of the Globe, and all its Furniture of Circles, that without it I dare pronounce it an Impoffibility for any Man to have any tolerable Notion of (much lefs will he be able to teach) the Doctrine of Spheric Geometry, and the Theory of thofe curious Arts which depend thereon.

I therefore take it for granted, that all who undertake to learn Spherical Trigonometry are well acquainted with the Nature, Names, and Ufes of all the Circles of the Sphere, as has been delivered in the Definitions; and being thus qualified, he will eafily understand what is delivered in the Sequel of this Chapter.

In order to folve the fix Cafes of Right-angled Spherical Triangles by the Globe; I fhall chufe fuch
