Geodaetes practicus redivivus The art of surveying: formerly publish'd by Vincent Wing, math. Now much augmented and improv'd; with an appendix thereunto subjoin'd, shewing the whole art of surveying by a new instrument, called the emperial table; performing exactly in all respects, and in all cases that can possibly happen in the practical part of surveying, the work of the theodolite, circumferentor, semi-circle, chard and needle. With the description and use of a new quadrant. To which is added by way of supplement, scientia stellarum: containing new and accurate tables of the planetary motions, whereby the planets places both in longitude and latitude, the places of the fixed stars, with the eclipses of the luminaries, are more easily attain'd, than by any yet extant. By John Wing, math.
