Sobre este artículo
New York: Henry Spear, 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. Two textbooks on sailing by American midshipmen, printed and bound together, as issued. The topics covered by Murphy are spars and rigging, nautical manoeuvers (called "evolutions"), and stowage.
Jeffers' work on navigation is separately paginated with a title page that reads in full: Navigation: A Concise Practical Treatise on Navigation: Containing Short and Improved Methods for the Determination of Latitude and Longitude, the Reduction in the Elements in the Nautical Almanac, the Treatment and Rating of Chronometers, etc.
The book offers a wealth of information on mid-19th century ships, but very few illustrations.
xvi, 92, [2], 46, [2],54, x, 62, 90, [6 blank] pages. First edition (first printing). A good copy, with old dampstains throughout. Illustrated title reattached with binder's tape. Corners worn, else very good in the publisher's original cloth binding decorated in gilt.
