La geometrie pratique, divisée en quatre livres : Le premier enseigne les elémens de la géometrie pratique, & donne toutes les notions de chaque terme concernant cette science. Le second explique la trigonométrie, ou la mesure des distances par les instrumens géometriques...& aussi par les sinus & les logarithmes. Le troisième montre la planimétrie, ou la mesure des superficies (ce que le vulgaire appelle l'arpentage) avec les methodes de transfigurer, d'augmenter, & de diviser toutes sortes de terres, bois, &c. Le quatrième regarde la stereométrie, ou le toisé de toutes sortes de corps de telle capacité & figure qu'ils puisse estre. Ouvrage enrichi de cinq cens planches gravées en taille-douce.
