MURPHY, JOHN M'LEOD; JEFFERS, W N (1 Ergebnisse)

Octavo, gilt-stamped blue cloth (hardcover), xvi, 92, 46, 54, x, [ii], 62, 90 pp. Illus., tables. Final 164 pages of text and tables carry a seperate title page: "Short Rules of Navigation." That page and also the initial engraved half-title, both bear the publishing date of 1849, and list the publisher as "Henry Spear." Thus, it would seem that David Van Nostrand purchased the sheets of the book from Henry Spear, added his own title page, and sold to the Civil War market. Very Good condition, with fraying to head and foot of spine, corners bumped, with slight rubbing along joints. Maritime, Nautical, Americana. bxxsl.
