viding the Degree: (Not that I intended to make a Difference, (or rather a Confufion, by intermixing them) but because these feveral Tradates were not written at the fame time, nor, at firft, intended to be joined together, as here they are: But fince it fo is, I have here (in the beginning) inferted a thort Table, by which Sexagenary Minutes are Reduced to Centefimal or Millefimal Parts: And alfo, Centefimal Parts to Minutes and Seconds: So that when the Reader meets with either of them, in any Part of thefe Tractates, he need not be at any Stand) (or Demurr about it) but readily know, to which Account it belongs, for the Manner of writing them will difcover it: So 23 Deg. 30 Min. is written as here; but the fame written Centefimally, thus, 23.5 Deg. Alfo 56 Deg. 43 Min. is written Sexagenarily, as here, but the fame Centefimally, thus, 56.71 Deg. or Millefimally, thus, 56.716 Deg. And fo of all others, as in the Table. CHAP.
