containing the description and use of his sector, cross-staff, bow, quadrant, and other instruments : with a canon of artificial sines and tangents, to a radius of 10,00000 [sic] parts, and logarithms from an unite [sic] to 10000 with the use thereof in arithmetick, geometry, astronomy, mathematicks in the Bulwark neer the Tower.

The fourth edition : to which is added, the description and use of another sector with more lines differing from that of Mr. Gunter, both in form and manner of working : as also of a quadrant fitted with new lines serving the former uses, and many other, more accurately : / both invented and written by Mr. Sam Foster ..., now published from his manuscripts : the whole work examined, and in many places enlarged, by W.L.
