Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, c 1921 & c1941. First Edition. First printing Very good- in blue cloth covered boards with dark blue text on the spine and decorations on the front board and with illustrated end sheets. A small quarto of 9 by 6 inches with the cloth at the head and heel of the spine rubbed and worn through and with the name of its prior owner written in ink at the upper corner of the first free end page and with what appears to be a narrow strip of white paint at the heel of the spine and at the lower edge of the boards. Without its issued dust jacket. 421 pages including an index, bibliography, supplement of letters, text and illustrated with reproductions of period art works. Robert G. Albion in his Naval & Maritime History an Annotated Bibliography considers this work: "One of the classics of maritime literature, combining original approach, sound scholarship, and delightful style. Its topical arrangement covers various aspects ashore as well as the different spheres of distant activity." (Albion, p137)
