The young geometrician's companion [electronic resource] : being a new and comprehensive course of practical geometry; Containing, I. An easy Introduction to Decimal Arithmetic, with the Extractions of the Square, Cube, Biquadrate, and other Roots. II. Such Definitions, Axioms, Problems, Theorems, and Characters, as necessarily lead to the Knowledge of this Science. III. Planometry, or the Mensuration of Superficies; as Squares, Parallelograms, Triangles, Circles, Segments, &c. IV. Stereometry, or the Mensuration of Solids; as Cubes, Parallelopipedons, Prisms, Cones, Pyramids, Cylinders, Spheres, Frustums, &c. V. The Sections of a Cone; as Ellipses, Parabolas, Hyperbolas, Spheroids, Conoids, Spindles, &c. VI. The Platonic Bodies; as Tetraedrons, Hexa�edrons, Octa�edrons, Dodeca�edrons, and Icosa�edrons. To Which is Added A Collection of curious and interesting Problems, shewing that Lines and Angles, (and consequently the least Particle of Matter) may be divided in infinitum; that Superficies and Solids may be so cut as to appear considerably augmented; and, that the famous Problem of Archimedes, of moving the Earth, is capable of an easy and accurate Demonstration. Calculated for the Use of Schools and Academies. And is necessary to be gone through by the Scholar before he proceeds to the higher and more abstruse Branches of the Mathematics, Indivisibles, Infinites, Algebra, and Fluxions. By the Reverend R. Turner, LL. D. Rector of Comberton, and Vicar of Elmly; Author of a View of the Earth, or a Short System of Modern Geography-View of the Heavens-Heavens Surveyed-Plain Trigonometry made Easy-And a New Introduction to Book-Keeping.

Mathematical digests. Containing the elements and application of geometry, and plane trigonometry, Whether by Instrumental Construction, or by Calculation, to the Measuring of Heights and Distances, &c. And the Stereographic Projection of Spheric Trigonometry; with numerical Solutions, and the Application thereof to several curious and important Problems in Astronomy, Navigation, and Dialling. With Tables for finding the Place, and Eclipses of the Sun and Moon, according to the last Improvement of the Newtonian Theory; and many practical Problems in each Branch. Design'd for a plain, methodical familiar Course of Instruction in the above-mentioned Parts of mathematical Science; very useful for all Lovers thereof. And Particularly For all Teachers of Mathematics: Being a synthetical Method which the Author has found, by many Years Experence, to be most successful and agreeable to his Pupils. Inscribed to all the Schoolmasters and Teachers of Mathematics in Great Britain and Ireland By Mr. John Dougharty, Author of the General Gauger, and Teacher of the Mathematics at Worcester [electronic resource].

The complete measurer [electronic resource] : or, the whole art of measuring. In two parts. The first part teaching decimal arithmetic, with the Extraction of the Square and Cube Roots. And also the Multiplication of Feet and Inches, commonly called Cross-Multiplication. The second part teaching to measure all sorts of superficies and solids, by Decimals, by Cross-Multiplication, and by Scale and Compasses: Also the Works of several Artificers relating to Building, and the Measuring of Board and Timber. Shewing the common Errors. And some Practical Questions. The fifth edition. To which is added, an appendix, 1. Of Gauging. 2. Of Land-Measuring. Very useful for all Tradesmen, especially Carpenters, Bricklayers, Plasterers, Painters, Joiners, Glasiers, Masons, &c. By William Hawney, Philomath. Recommended by the Rev. Dr. John Harris, F. R. S.

The elements of Euclid, viz. the first six books, together with the eleventh and twelfth. The Errors, by which Theon, or others, have long ago Vitiated these Books, are Corrected, And some of Euclid's Demonstrations are Restored. Also, the book of Euclid's data, in like manner corrected. By Robert Simson, M. D. Emeritus Professor of Mathematics in the University of Glasgow. To this edition are also annexed, elements of plane and spherical trigonometry [electronic resource].
