Thermometrical navigation
being a series of experiments and observations tending to prove that ascertaining the relative heat of the sea-water from time to time, the passage of a ship through the Gulph [sic] Stream, and from deep water into soundings, may be discovered in time to avoid danger, although (owing to tempestuous weather) it may be impossible to heave the lead or observe the heavenly bodies : extracted from the American Philosophical Transactions, vol. 2 &3, with additions and improvements

Tredgold, Thomas
The three papers by J. Smeaton were read before the Royal Society, May 3 and 10, 1759, April 25, 1776, and April 18, 1782. The translation of Venturi's work was first published in the Journal of natural philosophy, chemistry and the arts. The "Summary of ... hydraulics" appeared in 1802 in the Journal of the Royal Institution

Ascribed also to Defoe. According to the Dict. nat. biog. this ascription "seems unauthorized and unnecessary ... No reason can be alleged for doubting the existence of Roberts or the substantial truth of the narrative." According to W.P. Trent (in Camb. hist. of Eng. lit. v. 9, p. 25) though it may be the record of a real seaman, it "bears almost certain traces of Defoe's hand." cf. also Trent's Defoe, how to know him, p. 263
