Woodcut-engraved front of the Blunt New York Shop 9 of 15 maps & charts 1 w/ partial loss several w/ additional sailing instructions and printed notices pasted-in manuscript sailing instructions and notes on versos of some. Original calf spine & calf on rear cover perished shaken dampstaining & toning still fair reference copy from the library of Captain Thomas Hall II 1804-1829 son of Captain Thomas Hall 1778-1816 who was lost at sea while sailing from Charleston to Boston in Feb. 1829 which his brother Charles Hall 1810-1829 ownership markings on endpapers of both w/ manuscript note on verso of ffep. that this is “good for a pint of ale” facing clippings about new lighthouses ca. 1821 listing the Ten Pound Island stone tower light house first built on the site in 1821. Preserved in brick-coloured linen cloth clamshell slipcase w/ printed label on spine. Eighth edition of this early vital tool for American sea captains and navigators first published in a much shorter version of only 122 pp. in 1796 and the first edition to bear only Edmund Blunt’s name as author. The original commissioned from Captain Lawrence Furlong proved so crude and unusable that Blunt arranged for it to be edited and rewritten. Blunt’s Coast Pilots were the earliest works of their type published in North America to cover the Atlantic Coast of the U.S. with sailing directions tide tables tables of latitudes and longitudes and as this copy shows were often working evolving documents with additional manuscript annotations and printed additions including in this case the Charleston Harbour map which is not included in the binding instructions and supposedly left out of the 8th edition. Printed for Edmund M. Blunt, hardcover
