Synopsis

A New Method For Discovering The Longitude Both At Sea And Land is a book written by William Whiston in 1715. The book is a comprehensive guide on how to determine longitude, which was a major problem for sailors and navigators during the time. Whiston's method involves using the positions of the moon and stars to calculate longitude, along with other mathematical calculations. The book is divided into several chapters, each covering a different aspect of the method. Whiston also includes diagrams and tables to aid in the calculations. The book was well-received by the scientific community and was considered a significant contribution to the field of navigation. It remains an important historical document in the history of navigation and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as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.
