Description
1857 Voyages NAVIGATION Lunar & Nautical Tables Astronomy Sea Sailing Ships
George Colemans “Lunar and Nautical Tables” is a mid-19th-century treatise on nautical surveying written to instruct on three distinct topics: longitude by chronometer, rating of chronometers, and lunar observations. Coleman notes that this work was written specifically for mariners and thus provides them with numerous tables “sufficient for the purposes of determining the various ways of ascertaining the Latitude” (from Preface).
It should be noted that this book also contains a thorough description of the history of astronomy – constellations, stars, moon, ancient philosophy, Creation of the universe, planets, and much more.
