What reading level is Position Finding By the Improved Sumner Method Contrasted With the New Navig book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Run west 5 i 26 E 75 21 30 E 30 W Long, at time of 2nd obsn. 75 21 o E Lat. (decl. ) o 6-9 S Z. D. O 30 as radius 2nd obsn.

Blackburne's and Westland's "Azimuth and Reduction Tables" (1908 edition).
50 FORMULAE FOR CALCULATION OF EX-MERIDIAN LATITUDE WHEN AZIMUTH IS KNOWN.
OWING probably to the fact that the great majority of the formulae given in books of navigation for the calculation of ...the latitude, when the sun or other celestial body is not on the meridian, only give a correct latitude when such body is fairly close to the meridian, a great many navigators have the impression on their minds that an observa- tion for latitude when outside the usually accepted ex-meridian limits is of no value. This is a mistake, as, if a true formula is used, a true latitude may always be obtained when the hour-angle, altitude, and declination of the body are correctly known. At sea, however, the correct hour-angle can only be obtained by observation, as the longitude of the ship is continually changing, but the latitude corresponding to an observation of any particular body at any given meridian can always be calculated, and the line of position plotted from this point, and by combination with any other observation of another body on a different bearing both the latitude and longitude are obtained.
