T

HE General Approbation of this Book's former Impreffions, hath obliged me; not only to publish my Grateful Acknowledgments thereof, but also excited my diligent fearch into, and exact furvey of every part of its Structure, to find out the Defects, to know all its Deficiencies, which I fo far laboured in That

I have now Rectified what was amifs; Alter'd what was Disorderly; Explained what was Dark or Obfcure; Enlarged where it was Skanty; Added where it was Wanting. And

That thefe Rectifications, Alterations, Emendations, and Additions, being in divers Places, I thought it needless to Enumerate them; for they are obvious to a diligent Reader, that will but compare the Rules, Precepts, and Examples of this with the former Impreffions, in the Plain and eafy Method they are placed in, which is thus ;

I. You have Practical Geometry explained by Definitions,' Problems and Proportions. In this Chapter is taught the making the most useful Geometrical Figures, with the measuring all Superficies and Solids; Alfo the Application thereof in Practical Meafuring Board, Glafs, Plaftering, Painting, Paving, and Land; Timber and Stone; Gauging of Cask, and a Ship's Hold: All being illuftrated with Rules, Proportions and Examples, eafy to the Understanding, and not Burthenfome to the Memory; and fo ftated, that they may be performed both by Arithmetick, and by the Line of Numbers on Gunter's Scale. In 37 Problems.
