Geographical And Mathematical Discussion Of Plutarch�������s Account Of Ancient Voyages To The New World is a book written by Colvin Verplanck in 1893. The book is an in-depth analysis of the ancient voyages to the New World as described by Plutarch, a Greek historian and biographer. The author explores the geographical and mathematical aspects of the voyages, examining the accuracy of Plutarch's descriptions and the feasibility of the journeys. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the voyages. Verplanck begins by discussing the historical context of the voyages and Plutarch's account of them. He then moves on to examine the geographical features of the New World and the routes that the ancient sailors may have taken to reach it. Verplanck also delves into the mathematical calculations involved in the voyages, such as determining the latitude and longitude of the New World and calculating the distance and time required to travel there. He provides detailed explanations of the mathematical principles involved, making the book accessible to both experts and non-experts alike. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of Plutarch's account and the impact it had on the understanding of ancient voyages to the New World. Overall, Geographical And Mathematical Discussion Of Plutarch�������s Account Of Ancient Voyages To The New World is a fascinating exploration of ancient history and the mathematical principles behind it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
