777 pages (complete). Lecky despised jargon and suffocating formal language. This book became a 'must-have' for every sailor. Lecky's navigation expertise was much sought after, and this is a generously intended volume for the average seaman. This copy, half-leather, has much owned and copiously used. It is in shabby condition. But, it is tough, resolute and muscular. The covers and spine have wear, marks, cracking. But are secure and robust. Inside, the contents are much handled and used and the papertrims have storage marks. There is foxing throughout. Nonetheless, they are sure, gimlet-eyed, very confident, sage, clear, generous and very certain. fk. Book Condition: Poor. Binding: Hardcover.
