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 ... : to which is added, a complete theory, illustrating the rationale of this most useful discovery
