Side 19 - The circumference of every circle is supposed to be divided into 360 equal parts, called degrees ; and each degree into 60 equal parts, called minutes ; and each minute into 60 equal parts, called seconds ; and these into thirds, etc.
Side 14 - EXAMPLE. If the diameter of a circle be 7 inches, and the circumference 22, what is the circumference of another circle, the diameter of which is 14 inches ? Extend from 7 to 22, that extent will reach from 14 to 44 the same way.
Side 32 - ... the sum of the segments of the base is to the sum of the sides as the difference of the sides to the difference of the segments of the base.
Side 14 - All fractions found in this line must be decimals ; and if they are not, they must be reduced into decimals, which is easily done by extending the compasses from the denominator to the numerator; that extent laid the same way, from 1 in the middle or right hand, will reach to the decimal required.
Side 263 - A figurative expression for the timbers. /fuie at anchor, is when a ship is held by her anchors, and is not driven by wind or tide. To ride athwart, is to ride with the ship's side to the tide. To ride hoirie fallen, is •when the water breaks into the hawse in a rough sea.
Side 151 - Complement of the Latitude Is to Radius, So is the Sine of the Sun or Star's Declination To the Sine of the true Amplitude ; Which is always of the fame Name with the Declination, whether North or South.
Side 120 - The most usual way of discovering the set and drift of an unknown current, is thus : Let three or four men take a boat a little way from the ship : and by a rope fastened to the boat's stern, let down a heavy iron pot or loaded kettle to the depth of 80 or 100 fathoms ; then heave the log, and the number of knots run out in half a minute will be the miles the current sets per hour, and the bearing of the log will show the set of it.
Side 14 - The solid content of any bale, box, chest, fcc. is found by extending from 1 to the breadth ; that extent will reach from the depth to a fourth number, and the extent from 1 to that fourth number will reach from the length to the solid content.
