• New and correct tables of the lunar motions, according to the Newtonian theory : as it is truly freed from all errors of the press. Which Tables are demonstratively prov'd to be true, by a sufficient Number of Observations, of the most Eminent Astronomers of this and the last Age, viz. Tycho Brahe, Longomontanus, Heveljus, Ricciolus, Bullialdus, Cassini, De la Hire, Dr. Halley, Mr. Flamsteed, Mr. Haynes, &c. Being mostly Observations of Lunar Eclipses, and some of them taken by several of the aforesaid Observers at once. Together, With the Description of a New Instrument for taking Altitudes at Sea, with much more Speed and Certainty than by any Quadrant yet invented; by Means of which Instrument (which may not improperly be call'd an Hypsometer) and the Tables, together with a Book lately printed, entitled, An Humble Address to the Honourable Commissioners, the Longitude may be found, as often as shall be necessary, to the requir'd Exactness: As also, Eclipses may be calculated to the greatest Perfection. The Whole design'd for the Use of, His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, To whom with the greatest Submission it is most humbly dedicated. By Robert Wright, B. A.

• A table which reduces deals as imported from the Baltic, to standard deals : Shewing the quantity of Standard in any Number of Baltic, or common Deals, from 1 to 1000, of any length from 6 Feet to 16 Feet long, and from 7? to 12 Inches broad; thickness being 1?, 2, 2?, and 3 Inches. And for white Deals Imported from Norway, when Sold by the Hundred at 12 Feet long, and 3 Inches thick, which is the customary Method. Also, by this Table may be found the quantity of Standard Deals, if the length, thickness, and breadth be more than in the Table. To which is added, a Table of Solid Measure, shewing the Contents in Feet and Quarters, of any Piece of Timber from 1 to 60 Feet long, and from 5 to 24 Inches the Girt, to every half Foot in Length, and quarter Inch in Girt. A Standard Deal is 12 Feet long, 1? Inch thick, and 11 Inches broad. In the Table 12 Inches make 1 Foot, and 11 Feet 1 Deal; so that it must be observed in adding up the Sums taken out of the Table, to carry from the Feet Column, to the Column for Deals, 1 Deal for every 11 Feet.
