Synopsis

A New Method For Discovering The Longitude Both At Sea And Land is a book written by William Whiston in 1715. The book presents a new method for determining longitude, which was a significant problem for navigators at the time. Whiston's method involves using the positions of the moon and stars to calculate longitude, rather than relying on traditional methods such as dead reckoning or the use of a chronometer. The book includes detailed instructions and tables for using this method, as well as a discussion of the history of longitude and the various methods that had been proposed up to that point. It was an important contribution to the field of navigation and helped to improve the accuracy of sea travel.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
