OPERATION XXII. How to describe by the Globe a Dial Declining and Reclin∣ing as the former, with a Northward Aspect.

THere is no need here of a Scheme, the Construction of this* 1.1 Dial being in a manner the same as the former, only now you must draw your String and Bead (fitted to the Reclination) the contrary way, that is to say, over the South or forepart of the Globe throu' the 40th Degree in the Horizon East-ward from the Meridian or 12 a clock hour circle, then fixing a Needle (as * 1.2 I show'd you) on your Globe, or else tying a thred round it so, that it crosses still your Bead▪ and the aforesaid two Points in the Horizon, you have there the Plane repre∣sented, and may consequently (by the help of the former In∣structions) describe this Dial, whose Stile is to point upward, because of its Northern Aspect.
