  Mikhail Lomonosov (1711-1765) is the eminent Russian polymath and a towering
figure of the European Enlightenment. This English translation of his seminal
work Discourse on Greater Accuracy of Navigation concludes the series of
English translations of nine most significant scientific treatises, all of
which Lomonosov himself compiled in the volume titled Lomonosow Opera
Academica, intended for dissemination among European Academies.
