""A Set of Linear Tables for Correcting the Apparent Distance of the Moon from the Sun or a Fixed Star, for the Effect of Refraction"" is a book written by John William Norie in 1815. The book is a collection of tables that can be used to correct the apparent distance between the moon, sun, or a fixed star, for the effect of refraction. Refraction is the bending of light as it passes through the Earth's atmosphere, causing objects to appear higher in the sky than they actually are. The book is designed for use by navigators and astronomers who need to accurately calculate the position of celestial bodies in order to navigate at sea. The tables are based on mathematical formulas and are presented in a clear and easy-to-use format. The book is an important historical document in the field of navigation and astronomy and is still used by some navigators today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
