Henry,
The 1952 edition (new GHA edition with additional examples and quick
reference charts (59 pages) ...) includes the following:
-Position Line (sun or star), longitude, latitude and intercept (St. Hilaire
or calculated altitude) methods.
-Position Line (circumpolar star), longitude, latitude and intercept (St.
Hilaire or calculated altitude) methods.
-Deviation of magnetic compass.
-High-altitude ex-meridian.
-Amplitudes.
-Identification of stars.
-Great Circle distance and initial course.
-Calculation of points on Great Circle.
Googling, I found that some used book dealers have a copy of these tables
but I couldn't ascertain the vintage.
