Description of a Quadrant, the power of which is increased by 

 means of an additional Horizon Glass. 



Let CAB, in the figure, represent a common quadrant, having 

 the angle A C B equal to forty-five degrees : let C be the index-glass ; 

 C A the zero line, or the plane of the glass produced ; D the hori- 

 zon-glass, and E the sight- vane. 



Suppose C and D to be parallel, and that a ray coming from an 

 object H, is reflected from C, along the line C D, and from D along 

 the line D E to the eye. 



A ray of light from h may be supposed to come from H, if the 

 two, H h, are more than half a mile from the instrument, and the 

 object H will be seen directly, as well as by reflection, in the line D E. 



The angle DCE being equal to the angle DEC, D C is equal 

 to D E. With the centre D describe the circle C E F. Place a 

 glass at F, similar to that at D, but making an angle with C B, 

 which will reflect a ray passing along C F, in the line F E, to E.
