Sobre este artículo
Boston: Cassady and March, 1839. may18. 12mo. viii, 201 pp.
"By a perusal of this work the landsman may obtain more real information respecting sea-life, than from all the nautical novels... ever issued... The author has given real names and characters..." A very knowledgeable work, obviously written from first hand observation. Better pay and education, particularly the study of mathematics at sea, are seen as some of the ways to alleviate drunkenness, poor conduct and overly harsh punishments. Smith II 2735. Scattered foxing. Bound in original cloth over boards.
