the globe may be more easily computed.Whence arises the following

PROBLEM II.

To find the latitude of a place.

130. Bring the place to the graduated sideof the strong brass meridian; the degree itthen cuts {hews its distances from the equa-tor, which on the terrestrial globe is calledlatitude.

Thus London has- 31 deg. 32 min. ofnorth latitude 5 Constantinople, 41 deg. ofnorth latitude ; Quebec, in Canada, 46 deg.55 min. of north latitude; and the Cape ofGood Hope, 34 deg. south latitude.

PROBLEM III.

To find all those places which havethe lame latitude with any givenplace.

131. Suppose the given place London;turn the globe round, and all those placeswhich pass under the same point of the strongbrass meridian, are in the same latitude.
