" On the title-page ap- pears a representation of the cross-staff and the astrolabe, with the imprint "f Amsterdam By Willem Jansz. Blauw in de guide Sonnewyser, Met privilegie, Anno 1625. " The statement is made in the preface that "from the exact observations of Tycho Brahe, we have calculated new tables of the declination of the sun. " These same tables are to be found in the Zeespiegel of 1627, and were in- tended to replace the old tables of the "Nieuw Graetbouck" of the year 1605. A secon...d privilege granted by the States General, dated March 9, 1623, as the preceding, gives us the first word concerning another work by Blaeu intended especially for the use of seamen.
