Description
Diagrams in a tract entitled 'Universae trigonometriae praxis quinque canonibus exhibita' (Practice in general trigonometry using five rules), attributed to James Gregorie, who appears to have based some of his figures and values on Henry Briggs's Trigonometria Brittanica (Gouda, 1633). The bottom two are from p. 81.
