Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Original 18th century calf binding. [8] + 160 pages. Signed by the previous owner, Jonathan Sheldon with the addition: "His book, bought in Boston, November 26, 1781". Captain Jonathan Sheldon (1748-1835) served as master of the American sloop "Tryall" during the Revolution. Additional signature of Sheldon's great-great grandson Ernest L. Van Wagner, former Inspector Commanding Detectives, New York City Police Department. A remarkable piece of early Americana. A recent WorldCat search reveals only 3 complete copies held in institutional libraries worldwide. According to John F. Campbell, in The New American Practical Navigator, the book is "One of the earliest navigation manuals, if not the first, to carry an American imprint." Various scuffs and edgewear to leather. A few old moisture stains margins of a few leaves. Very mild foxing. Leaf containing pp. 147-48 torn, with loss of upper right corner including a portion of the text--approximately a quarter of the page.
