Elementary Treatise On Navigation and Nautical Astronomy [Latin]

By Eugene Lamb Richards

Elementary Treatise On Navigation and Nautical Astronomy, written in Latin by Eugene Lamb Richards, presents a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of navigation at sea. Originally published in 1901, this treatise delves into the mathematical and astronomical foundations necessary for determining a ship's position using celestial observations.

The book covers essential topics such as spherical trigonometry, the use of nautical instruments, and methods for calculating latitude, longitude, and time. Aimed at students and practitioners of maritime navigation, it provides a rigorous and systematic approach to mastering the art of seafaring.

Richards' work offers valuable insights into the historical methods of navigation, making it a significant resource for those interested in the history of science, maritime history, and the development of navigational techniques. Its enduring appeal lies in its clear exposition of complex concepts and its relevance to understanding the challenges faced by sailors in past eras.
