He is known for work on logic, astronomy, education and horsemanship, as well as for translations from the Italian. His interests were both wide-ranging and directed towards practical ends, and he adapted freely a number of the works he translated. He was a pioneer writer in English in several areas, and inventor of a standard classroom geometrical instrument, the protractor. This edition, whilst largely the same as the first edition, includes at the end an additional section (comprising two treatises), A briefe description of universall maps and cardes, and of their use. And also the use of Ptolomey his tables (pp.747-799), which has several references to America.
