Sobre este artículo
First edition thus, 8vo, pp. xxiv, 25-348; 4 plates within text block, 8 folding charts depicting a vertical section of the Atlantic, depth chart, paths of hurricanes, sea drifts, winds and routes, and the gulf stream, and 1 folding table of a pilot's sheet - all in perfect condition barring one small tear(4 cm.) on Plate VIII; original navy blue cloth, corners rubbed and bumped, textblock bright and sound. Considered the first textbook of modern oceanography, this work was among the first to recognize the sea as a separate branch of science. Maury was a distinguished naval officer and a prolific writer on oceanography and naval subjects; he was instrumental in establishing an international system for recording oceanographic data, based on worldwide cooperation of naval vessels and the merchant marine. This work went through many editions; here on offer is the first printing of an enlarged and revised sixth edition - "An Entirely New Edition" - first published and entered on the Congressional Register in 1856. The present copy was sold by Sampson Low in London with a four page insert on "American Works of Interest during 1854-5" It is in astoundingly good condition with POS on copyright page, " J Barde Vernet ".
