All the proceeding cases of right lin'd trigonometry, performed arithmetically, without the help of any sort of tables. Unto which is annexed, so much of decimal arithmetick, and the extraction of the square root, as is necessary for the working of arithmetical trigonometry. The second edition. By Roger Rea. N.P.
