Azimuth Tables for the Higher Declinations (limits of declination 24° to 30°, both inclusive) between the parallels of latitude 0° and 60°, with Examples in the use of the Tables in English and French

Abstract

A LEADING feature of present-day methods of navigation is the use of tables. There is scarcely any method in use in navigation for which one, and probably many, tables, of more or less practical utility, are not provided; and it would almost appear in some cases as though new methods had been proposed because tables could be prepared to use in connection with them, rather than because they were of real practical use. Some tables, such as those for “reduction to the meridian,” may almost be regarded as luxuries, as they really save but little time and labour; though, on account of the easy adaptation of the formulæ to different forms of tabular computation, the number of them is large. On the other hand, there are tables which are really indispensable.
