He was an accomplished navigator and scientist. He was also fervently committed to White Supremacy, joining the Confederacy to defend the Confederate coast line during the American Civil War. Among other things, he experimented with electrically detonated torpedoes (the Confederate ships using this deadly invention sank fifty five Union ships). Written years before his participation in the Civil War, this American title has detailed chapters on algebra, geometry, logarithms, trigonometry, spherics and nautical astronomy. A very scarce title. This book belonged to Lieutenant Commander Andrew David of the Royal Navy.
