Title

Mr. Blundevil his Exercises

Description

A depiction of "an instrument which will shew at any houre of the night, how much the Loadstar is either above or beneath the Pole." This illustration is particularly interesting because a former owner made the instrument by stitching a paper disc and a paper needle to the page.
