14989 SPEIDELL (John, practitioner in the Mathematicks, and professor thereof in London 

 A BREEFE TREATISE of SPH^ERICALL TRIANGLES, wherein is handled the sixteene Cases of a 

 RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE, being all extracted out of one Diagram, and reduced into Theorems, 

 with the totall fine in the first place, so that by Addition onely, they may be effected ; as also the 

 Twelve Cases of an OBLIQUE SPH^RICALL TRIANGLE, being likewise reduced into Theorems, 

 whereby with one or two Additions at the most, any of them may be resolved by Helpe of this 

 Canon following made with Secants, and that only by such Numbers as are therein to be founde, 

 without first making any Substraction, or using any mentall Operation. Whereunto is annexed 

 a GEOMETRICALL EXTRACTION formerly published by the Author, containing diuers delightfull 

 and necessarie Geometricall Problems, with plate and diagrams, sm. 4to. (pp. 49), sewn {partly 

 water- stained, but sound copy), with auto, of Dr. Charles Button, F.R.S. (rare), 1. Is E. Allde,}&27

14992 NEW LOGARITHMES. The. First Inuention whereof, was, by the Honourable Lo: JOHN 



NEPAIR BARON of MARCHISTON, and Printed at Edinburg in Scotland, Anno: 1614. In whole 

 Use was and is required the Knowledge of Albraicall Addition and Substraction, according to + 

 and . These being Extracted from and out of them (they being first ouer scene, corrected, and 

 amended) require not at all any Skill in Algebra, or Cossike Numbers, but may be used by euery 

 one that can onely Adde and Substract, in whole Numbers, according to the Common or vulgar 

 Arithmeticke, without any Consideration or Respect of + or , the 10. Impression, sm. 4to. 

 (pp. 128), sewn (rare), 2. 2s apud auctorem, at his dwelling house in the Fields, on the back side
