Wide outside margin, but cut close at the top. Pages toned from age. Despite these defects, this copy is still complete and considering the rough life intended for this title, this survivor remains quite a good example. 136 pages. The title page is printed tightly with details of the contents of the book, only some of which is written in the title field above. Title continues to include "exact tables of the sun's place, declination, and right-ascention. fixed stars, large table of difference of latitude and departure. use of sea quadrant, fore-staff and nocturnal, problems in plane sailing and astronomy." and much more. Date at the bottom of the title page is printed as just "178" which is either a misprint or intentionally left unclear so that publishers might write in the year of publication throughout the decade. Half title page is "Stamp's according to Act of Parliament, with three four-penny stamps" and indeed it is, with 3 red rubberstamps dated 1781 (but they are 2-pence stamps, not four-penny stamps). Printed with charts, tables, illustrations, etc. An attractive book and also one rich with portent and sense of use and practical adventure from the era of Revolution, exploration and the eve of the nautical Napoleonic wars.
