Seller's Description:
Book Rare first edition of Bowditch's classic--widely regarded as the greatest book in the history of navigation. During his revision of the earlier British work by J. H. Moore, Bowditch discovered over 8000 errors, and elected instead to write a completely new book. The New American Practical Navigator quickly became the preeminent text on maritime navigation. Handsomely rebound in half leather (leather spine and corners) over decorated boards. New decorated endpapers have been added, while preserving the original endpapers. Previous owner name of "Talbot Chambers. Carlisle" is written and scratched through twice on (original) front endpage. Contents with sporadic foxing and frequent offsetting, particularly from the plates. A handful of pages with short edge-tears, plus a longer, 1.5 inch tear to pages vii-x of the Preface. All seven plates and the fold-out map are present and attached. The folds of the map have been narrowly reinforced on the reverse side. 589 pages, followed by Errata, "A List of Errors in Hutton's Logarithms", a statement concerning the book by the District of Massachusetts, and three pages advertising Edward M. Blunt's store.
