  A nevv quadrant, of more naturall, easie, and manifold performance, than any other heretofore extant framed according to the horizontall projection of the sphere, with the uses thereof. By C.B. maker of mathematic instruments in metall.

summary:
  The long Arches , which beginning at the Scale of moneths in the Meridian betwixt the two Quarters of the Ecliptic , crosse all the Houre lines , are the parallels of Declination , or the Semidiurnall Arches of the Sunne ; the middlemost of which is the Equinoctiall , the outermost above is the Tropick of ♋ , and the outermost below is the Tropick of ♑ : although between the Equinoctiall and each Tropick Innumerable parallels are understood to be contained , yet those which are in the Instrument drawne , at every second Degree of Declination , may be sufficient to direct the eye in tracing out an imaginary parallel from every point given in the Scale of moneths . Note that upon the right estimation of that imaginary parallel , the manifold use of this Instrument doth especially rely ; because the true place of the Sunne all that day is in some part or point of the same Circle .

  The triangular quadrant, or, The quadrant on a sector being a general instrument for land or sea observations : performing all the uses of the ordinary sea instruments, as Davis quadrant, forestaff, crosstaff, bow, with more ease, profitableness, and conveniency, and as much exactness as any or all of them : moreover, it may be made a particular and a general quadrant for all latitudes, and have the sector lines also : to which is added a rectifying table to find the suns true declination to a minute or two, any day or hour of the 4 years : whereby to find the latitude of a place by meridian, or any two other altitudes of the sun or stars / first thus contrived and made by John Brown ...

summary:
  Suppose on the same day and year as before , at the same Noon time , I set my Horizon sight to just 10′ of North declination , you shall find the moving sight to stay at 21. 30. neer to the corner , now if the Sun shine bright , and will cast the shadow to the turning sight , then set the Horison sight at the declination , forward 10 or 20. degrees , then the moving sight coming lower you , add but 20. or to that it shall stay at , and the summe shall be the latitude . But it is most likely that it will be better to diminish it 20. degrees , then the moving sight will stay about 2 - 30. on the Crosse piece , and so much the better to cast a shadow ; for if you look through the Horizon and turning sight to the Horizon , you shall find the shadow of the former edge of the moving shadow sight , to stay at 2 - 30. to which if you add 20. the degrees diminished , and 30.

summary:
  Now with this space BC of the figure above , come back to the figure below , and set at your discretion one of the feet of the Compasse upon the straight line that you have drawn there , as for example set it to the point B , then turning the Compasse about upon this point B , draw with the other foot a circular line CG , which circle by this means shall have a space BC equal with the space BC of the higher figure , and will meet the line BD for example in the point C. Go back again to the figure above , take there after the same manner the space from the end or point of the pin B to the point of shadow D , and with this space come back to the figure below , and set again one of the feet of your Compasse to the point B , and holding it still upon this point B draw with the other foot a second circular line DH , that will be equal with the space above BD , and that may meet the line BC , for example in the point D. Go back again to the figure above , and take with your Compasse the space betwixt the point of the pin B and the point of shadow F , and with this space come back to the figure below set one of the feet of the Compasse to the point B , and draw with the other foot a third circular line FE , with the space BF of the figure above , and that may meet the line BD for example in the point F.

  Horlogiographia optica. Dialling universall and particular: speculative and practicall. In a threefold præcognita, viz. geometricall, philosophicall, and astronomicall: and a threefold practise, viz. arithmeticall, geometricall, and instrumentall. With diverse propositions of the use and benefit of shadows, serving to prick down the signes, declination, and azimuths, on sun-dials, and diverse other benefits. Illustrated by diverse opticall conceits, taken out of Augilonius, Kercherius, Clavius, and others. Lastly, topothesia, or, a feigned description of the court of art. Full of benefit for the making of dials, use of the globes, difference of meridians, and most propositions of astronomie. Together with many usefull instruments and dials in brasse, made by Walter Hayes, at the Crosse Daggers in More Fields. / Written by Silvanus Morgan.

summary:
  Or thus , Draw a great many Circles concentricall one within another , then observe by the Circles about noone when the Sun casts the shortest shadow , and that then shall represent a true Meridian , the reason why you must observe the length of the shadow by circles & not by lines is , because if the Sun have not attained to the true Meridian it wil cast its shadow from a line , and so my eye may deceive me , when as by Circles the Sun casting shadow round about , still meetes with one circumference or other , and so we may observe diligently . Now if you imagine the Circle before described to represent the Meridian Circle which crossed diametrically , which diameter shall represent the Aequinoctiall , then laying down the greatest declination , on either side of it , drawing two lines at that distance , on either side of the Aequinoctiall , parallel to it , represent the Tropicks , the upper representing the Tropick of Cancer , marked with GE , the other the Tropick of Capricorn , marked with HI : and if from each severall degree you draw parallels too , they doe represent the parallels of the Sun , which shall shew the diurnall motion of the Sun : now if you crosse these parallels with a line from E to H , that then represents the Ecliptique ; now if you crosse the Aequino-Ctiall at right angles with another line , that line represents the Axis of the World : then if you lay down from the Poles the elevation thereof , to wit , the North and South Poles , according to the elevation of the North Pole downward , where the number of degrees end make a mark ; then account the same elevation from the South Pole upward , and there also make a mark , from which two marks draw a right line , which shall represent your Horizon , and cuts the parallels of the Sun according to the time of his abiding above the Horizon .
