Romme (1744-1805) was, according to NBG, one of the scientists who contributed most to the progress of navigation in the 18th century. He studied in Paris, where he became friendly with Lalande, who procured for him the professorship of mathematics and navigation at Rochefort. He produced a steady stream of textbooks, of which this is one - and a rare one, with only 2 copies located in WorldCat, Cambridge and BNF. Bound before the text here are 2 catalogues of the bookseller Barrois: the first, of 20 pages, is of scientific books, the second of 16 pages, is general. The catalogues have a few tears, &c.

The author ( 1744 - 1805 ) studied in Paris where he befriended Lalande. He became professor of mathematics and navigation in La Rochelle which was the French naval shipbuilding centre in the 18th c. This was partly due to the large provision of oak wood which existed upstream of the Charente river. See Polak, Bibliographie Maritime Française item n° 8372.
