Mechanick dialling
or, The new art of shadows ... The whole laid down after so plain a method that any person ... with a pair of compasses and common ruler only, may make a dial upon any plane for any place in the world ... Illustrated with many copper plates, and examples of dials for London, Exeter, Bristol ... &c. To which are added, 1. A collection of above 300 mottos in Latin and English. 2. A new and correct alphabetical table of the most eminent cities and towns in the whole world; shewing the elevation of the pole, and the difference of their meridian from London. 3. The best and most approved methods of painting sun-dials ...
A new edition: not only very much improved by the addition of the new star-dial, &c. but it is the only book upon the subject that has been adapted to the new stile.
