Birmingham: Author, 1846. (6), 17,1-1-36 pp. plus 7 b/w plates. The author of this rather unique treatise takes note of the work of Hoste, Morogues, Bouguer, Clerk, Ekins, Steel and others, but says My object is to shew that naval tactics are incomplete, and to suggest some simple rules for all the movements that can be required. Well, as his various formulae, tables and diagrams show, simple might not be the best word for what he proposes. Scarce. Worldcat shows only seven libraries holding copies. Bound in green blindstamped cloth, rebacked to match. Some cover spotting, text clean.
