The Tidal Constants have been thoroughly revised and extended, and now refer to Dover. The Nautical Tables and Methods Section has been thoroughly revised and the general Distance Tables extended, particularly by the addition of distances between ports on the American coasts. A valuable edition to an historical maritime collection. (Bookmark loosely inserted.).
