Sawyer III : a festschrift on the tenth anniversary of the North American Sundial Society.

The mariner's magazine, or, Sturmy's mathematical and practical arts; the seventh book, containing the art of dialling by the gnomical scale, as also by calculation, shewing the making of all dials, within doors or without, upon any wall, cieling [sic], or floors, wheresoever the direct or reflected beams of the sun may come, and how to colour, guild, and paint dials; and to fasten the gnomon in stone or wood / by Capt.

Désaguliers of Hart-Hall, Oxon, with an addendum consisting of Jacques Ozanam's Problems of Dialling extracted from the 1708 English edition of his Recreations mathematical and physical. Compiler and editor: Frederick W. Sawyer III.

The art of dialling : by a new, easie, and most speedy way : shewing how to describe the houre-lines upon all sorts of plaines howsoever, or in what latitude soever scituated : as also to find the suns azimuth, whereby the sight of any plaine is examined : performed by a quadrant, fitted with lines necessary to the purpose / invented and published by Samuel Foster ... compiled and editor, Frederick W. Sawyer III.

Posthuma Fosteri: the description of a ruler, upon which is inscribed divers scales: and the vses thereof / invented and written by Mr. Samuel Foster, late professor of astronomie in Gresham-Colledg. By which the most usuall propositions in astronomie, navigation, and dialling, are facily performed. Also, a further use of the said scales in deliniating of far declining dials; and of those that decline and recline, three severall wayes. With the deliniating of all horizontall dials, between 30, and 60 gr of latitude, without drawing any lines but the houres themselves, compiled and editor: Frederick W. Sawyer III.

The practice of dialling, illustrated on all kinds of planes, Sect. Ill. Of describing the common furniture of dials; and the construction of some useful dials of other kinds / William Emerson, compiler and editor: Frederick W. Sawyer III.

Elliptical, or azimuthal horologiography : Comprehending severall wayes of describing dials upon all kindes of superficies either plain or curved: and unto upright stiles in whatsoever position they shall be placed / Invented and demonstrated by Samuel Foster, late Professor of Astronomie in Gresham-Colledge. Compiler and editor: Frederick W. Sawyer III.

A new and easie method to the art of dyalling : containing I) all horizontal dyals, all upright dyals, reflecting dyals, dyals without centres, nocturnal dyals, upright declining dyals, without knowing the declination of the plane, II) the most natural and easie way of describing the curve-lines of the suns declination on any plane. The like never before published / by Thomas Strode, esq. of Maperton in the county of Somerset. Compiler and editor: Frederick W. Sawyer III.
