Excerpt from Elements of Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, With Its Applications to the Principles of Navigation and Nautical Astronomy: With the Logarithmic and Trigonometrical Tables

In the present volume, therefore, both the theory and the practiw of the science have been introduced, every particular formula being illustra examples of the numerical calculation, arranged in the proper form. Plan of combining practice with theory, in works like the present was always adopted by t e earlier English writers, and it is to be r t that recent authors have, in their admiration of foreign methods, spatted so widely, in this respect, from the example of their predecessors, dwelling so much as they do upon the symbols, and so little u n the things signified.
