84 pp; 2 ll.Excerpt from the second edition of A Chinese commercial guide Canton 1844 namely chapter 1. It includes sailing directions that were noted during a survey of the Chinese outer islands between Xiamen and Xiangshan in January-April 1843 by captains Kellet and Coolinson of the HMS Starling and Plover. This area is infamous for its many dangerous small islands and rocks and therefore a pilot guide was essential for British sailors to navigate these waters. The topographic names are given in English and in Chinese characters.With library mark on the front pastedown and three stamps of the Marinens Bibliotek on the title-page. With several annotations in pencil. The last printed page is damaged by the additional folding manuscript page that is bound in at the end. Otherwise in good conditionl Cf.

NAVIGATION. Pagnini Giovanni
COSTRUZIONE ED USO DEL COMPASSO DI PROPORZIONE.
NAPLES: 1753. FIRST EDITION. Quarto:. Bound in contemporary vellum over boards. Foxing. Complete with the 15 engraved plates. Little is known of the author other than that he wrote another book on navigation in 1750. This work on the sector was translated into Spanish in 1758. By the time this book was published the design of the European sector had become standardized. Compare this design for example with that in the fourth edition of the works of Ozanam seventeen years earlier L’usage du compas de proportion 1736. The physical design of Pagnini’s instrument is better with pegs and decorative tenons to hold the two legs in alignment but the scales are essentially identical. The work is well illustrated with engravings showing exactly how a pair of dividers should be used to take the various lateral and transverse measurements. Pagnini provides eight tables that detail the exact markings for each scale. He also provides other material for reference use e.g. he includes not only a table for the construction of the line of metals but also one of their relative weights and their alchemical symbols etc. Tomash & Williams P7; Riccardi ii 236 unknown

Contemporary mottled calf gilt decorated spine raised bands red & gilt morocco spine label marbled endpapers minor chipping head & foot of spine front hinge starting w/ very minor splitting wear to corners some bumping still VG sound copy. Revised & expanded edition of this well-written treatise on navigation updating the work first published by the author’s father Jean Bouguer in 1698. Bouguer 1698-1758 made several contributions to navigation with his studies on the masts of ships observing the altitudes of stars at sea in order to better determine position as well as the magnetic declination at sea depending on the ship’s position. He is perhaps best remembered for his work on photometry and invented the heliometer. This edition featured numerous revisions by La Caille as well as new and corrected trigonometric tables.
