The seaman's daily assistant new modelled: being a short, easy, and plain method of keeping a journal at sea. In which are contained rules for working the cases in plane, middle latitude, and mercator's sailing. Also, Rules shewing how the allowances for Leeway, Variation, Heave of the Sea, set of Currents, &c. are to be made, and to correct the Dead-Reckoning by an Observation, in all Cases: And, also, all the Tables that are any ways necessary for the Seaman's use in keeping a Journal. Likewise, Rules for finding the Latitude by the Meridian Altitude of the Sun, Moon, and Fixed Stars: And, also, the method of determining the Latitude by two Altitudes of the Sun, with the help of the Solar Tables. To which is added, a new mercator's chart of the wester ocean. By Thomas Haselden, Late Teacher of the Mathematics in the Royal Navy. The whole raised and corrected, with many additions, by A. Smyth, Mathematician.

The new practical navigator; being an epitome of navigation; containing the different methods of working the lunar observations, and all the requisite tables used with the nautical almanac, in determining the latitude and longitude; and keeping a complete reckoning at sea: illustrated by proper rules and examples: the whole exemplified in a journal kept from England to the island of Teneriffe ... The first American, from the thirteenth English edition of John Hamilton Moore. Improved by the introduction of several new tables, and by large additions to the forme tables, and revised and corrected by a skilful mathematician and navigator. Illustrated with copper-plates. To which are added, some general instructions and information to merchants, masters of vessels, and others concerned in navigation, relative to the mercantile and maritime laws and customs.

A new set of logarithmic solar tables, calculated and constructed for determining the latitude at sea, by taking two altitudes of the sun, with the intermediate time, by a common watch; and that with ease and accuracy, independent of the sun's meridional altitude. This most excellent and useful performance, not only produces the true latitude at any time between nine o'clock in the morning, and three in the afternoon; but also gives the true time of the day, when the greatest altitude was taken, to twenty seconds; and if greater accuracy is required, proportional parts may be taken. Whence the sun's azimuth may be determined by one single proportion. To which is added, a complete theory, illustrating the rationale of this most useful discovery.
