réf. 120563London, H. Hughes 1866, 220x145mm, III - 182pages, editor's binding. Excellent original publisher’s binding. Full green percaline with sharp cold-stamped decorations on both covers. The spine is blank as issued. The gilt work on the top cover - featuring the author, title, publisher, and a distinctive diagram of a spherical projection - remains bright and crisp. Very slight foxing, which is more pronounced on the endpapers only. The presence of only very slight foxing, which is more pronounced strictly on the endpapers, is exceptional for a technical manual intended for practical use at sea. A highly collectible, fine copy of a scarce Victorian maritime manual. This second edition is a comprehensive guide containing practical examples and formulae for all maritime problems. It features detailed astronomical definitions illustrated by spherical and plane diagrams. Designed specifically for young navigators, it was structured to enable students to master the science of navigation independently. Registered and entered at Stationer’s Hall.

First conceived of when he was held prisoner in America during the War of 1812 the Naval History is a remarkable work. Working under the motto “Vérité sans peur” James set himself standards of inclusiveness and accuracy extraordinary for the 19th century. His aim was to compile “…an exact account of every operation of naval war during the period named.”
