First Edition
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to. pp. 1 p.l., 39. 7 lithographed plates (drawn by G.Moorsom, printed by C.Hullmandell). disbound, gilt edges. First Edition. Seppings, British naval architect and Surveyor of His Majesty's Navy (1813), was the originator of several important innovations in ship-building, including 'Seppings blocks', a construction designed to facilitate the examination of keels and lower timbers of vessels, which earned him a one thousand pound grant from the Admiralty and the Copley Medal of the Society of Arts in 1803, and a system of diagonally bracing and trussing the frame timbers of vessels. In the present work, he recommended the adoption of the round stern in ships of war, showing it to be much stronger and better adapted for defence than the square stern.
