8vo. ppxii 304, xxviii (explanation of the tables) + 259 pages of tables and advert page. 9 engraved plates. an early edition of this standard navigation text that continued in publication throughout the 19th century. Certainly a 'working' copy with signs of being well used, but basically in good condition in a contemporary full leather binding, worn, but sound. Internally the front free end-paper and frontispiece are loose and a bit ragged. the title-page is rather soiled, with ownership details in a contemporary hand. occasional internal marking, but generally clean. ink and pencil calculations to end-papers.
