Captain Sumner's method of finding a ship's position at sea from having given one altitude of the sun and the time at Greenwich improved and simplified: including a new, short, and easy method of finding the time at the ship, and thence the longitude by chronometer, also a method of finding both latitude and longitude by double altitudes, and methods of finding the latitude by double altitudes and simultaneous altitudes
