The seventh edition, corrected and somewhat enlarged by Ro. Hartwell philomathematicus, Contemporary calf, rebacked. A very important book in the history of navigation The Exercises described the world map of Petrus Plancius, Molyneaux s large terrestrial globe, being the first globe to be made in England, the works of John Balgrave, Gemma Frisius, and the cross-staff of Thomas Hood. He first published his Exercises in six parts, containing a brief account of arithmetic, cosmography, the use of the globes, a universal map, the astrolabe, and navigation. The arithmetic is taken from Recorde, but to it are added trigonometrical tables (copied from Clavius) of the natural sines, tangents, and secants of all angles in the first quadrant; the difference between consecutive angles being one minute. These are worked out to seven places of decimals. This is the earliest English work in which plane trigonometry is introduced. Later editions including this 1636 edition (from 1613 onwards) showed the circumnavigations of Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish. His circle of friends included Sir Nicholas Bacon and mathematicians and astronomers including John Dee, Edward Wright, Henry Briggs and William Gilbert.

A handsome copy of this most interesting work in fine contemporary calf, the third edition. Thomas Blundeville (c. 1522 c. 1606) was an English humanist writer and mathematician. He is known for work on logic, astronomy, education and horsemanship, as well as for translations from the Italian; he freely adapted a number of the works he translated. Born in Norfolk, Blundeville has been comparatively ignored by historians of science and technology: he seems to have been educated at Cambridge : Later he is associated with Gresham college and the group that included Henry Briggs, . William Gilbert, . Edward Wright, and William Barlow, the later two both instrument makers who wrote on navigation. Along with his contemporaries at Gresham, Blundeville was one of several mathematical practitioners . who often took up residence in London as they sought to make a living either through commercial publication, private instruction, patronage, consultation on state sponsored projects, or instrument making. Blundeville demonstrates considerably broader range that other practitioners of the period, however, and in this he is somewhat atypical of technical writers. .The increasing conceptual proximity between practical and productive modes of knowledge and the growing extension of deliberative thinking that we find in Harvey . is also visible in other sixteenth -century dialectic textbooks, particularly those written in the vernacular such as Thomas Blundeville s Arte of Logicke . Blundeville observes Aristotle s definition of the five modes of intellect, Intelligence, Science, Prudence, Art, and Sapience . . As he continues, however, Blundeville follows Aristotle in reducing these five modes of intellect to two - the practical and the theoretical . his Art of Logicke uses arithmetical and geometrical concepts of proportion to explain ratiocinative procedures in logic and even illustrates them with geometrical diagrams. Henry S. Turner . The English Renaissance Stage: Geometry, Poetics . Thomas Bludeville s the arte of logicke, 1599, illustrates the share that logic could have in the teaching of expression, and of how different from ours were the presuppositions and methods of that teaching. Blundeville, following an earlier sixteenth-century logician, is showing the different proofs that can be adduced in respecte of the theame or proposition man ought to embrace virtue .Whether or not he learnt any logic, a schoolboy carrying out an exercise of this kind would be extending his skill in the precise control of language.
