The vse of the two mathematicall instruments : the crosse staffe, (differing from that in common vse with the mariners:) and the Iacobs staffe: set foorth dialogue wise in two briefe and plaine treatises: the one most commodious for the mariner, and all such as are to deale in astronomicall matters: the other, profitable for the surueyor, to take the length, height, depth, or breadth, of any thing measurable. Set forth by Th. Hood. mathematicall lecturer in the citie of London. The staues are to be sold in Marke lane, at the house of Francis Cooke.

The description and use of a portable instrument, vlugarly [as printed] known by the name of Gunters quadrant : by which is perform'd most propositions in astronomy, as the altitude, azimuth, right ascention, and declination of the sun, &c. : also his rising, and setting and amplitude, together with the hour of the day or night, and other condusions exemplified at large : to which is added the use of Nepiars bones in multiplication, division, and extraction of roots, also the the nocturnal, the ring dial, and Gunters-line, in many necessary and delightful conclusions, fitted to the understanding of the meanest capacity : collected and digested into this portable volumn, for the use of young practitioners /

The use of a mathematical instrument, called a quadrant: : Shewing very plainly and easily to know the exact height or distance of any steeple, tree, or house, &c. : Also to know the hour of the day by it: the height of the sun, moon, or stars: and to know the time of sun-rising, and setting; and the length of every day in the year: the place of the sun in the ecliptick: the azimuth, right ascension, and declination of the sun. : With many other necessary and delightful conclusions. Performed very readily. : As also the use of a nocturnal whereby you may learn to know the stars in heaven, and the hour of the night, by them. With many other delightfull operations.

The Construction and use of the sea quadrant, commonly called Hadley's quadrant : Containing such directions, as are necessary to render the use of this noble instrument both easy and certain, particularly with respect to the back observation, which has been hitherto neglected for want of proper instructions. To which is added, an introduction, explaining the theory of the instrument in a plain and familiar manner, with correct tables of the sun's declination, which being calculated for four years are thereby rendered perpetual.

Short, but plain and easy, directions for the use of Hadley's quadrant : In which care is taken not to encumber it with more than is necessary, or needless encomiums, but to render it useful to the learner; it being now so well known to the world as not to want an advocate in its praise. To which is added, a description of the vernier scale, commonly call'd nonius's division.
