- Summary
- Treatise on mathematics, geography, navigation, astronomy, marine surveying, fortification, gunnery and mechanics, with maps and drawings. Two of the views are signed "T.L." and there is a tail piece signed "T.L. 1799." This volume is evidently British, as the English flag is shown in the views and the mathematical problems are based on English life.
