Description from the seller
J. W. Norie – A Complete Epitome of Practical Navigation – London, 1856
Rare nineteenth-century maritime navigation manual, corresponding to the fifteenth stereotyped edition, augmented and improved, of this standard work by J. W. Norie, with the collaboration of George Coleman.
Published in London in 1856, this technical work is devoted to the practice of maritime navigation. It covers in particular nautical instruments, astronomical observations, navigation calculations, and the tables needed by navigators of the period.
The volume includes illustrations and engraved plates depicting notably navigation instruments, as well as technical tables and cartographic documents.
Provenance: the copy bears a circular library stamp with the inscription “Bibliothèque de Luc H. Peugniez” and the monogram LHP. A handwritten inscription bearing the name Peugniez also appears on a flyleaf.
Historical research has identified a Luc Basile Henri Peugniez, former French naval officer and member of the Free French Naval Forces.
An interesting historical document for collectors of old books, maritime history, and nautical science.
