PRICE, S3.50. 
The American naval service and merchant marine, and that very large class of Americans 
who are interested in yachting or in some form of seamanship, have hitherto lacked one con¬ 
venience—almost a necessity, indeed. There has been no one book which, not aiming to replace 
abstruse scientific and theoretical treatises on seamanship, should bring together in a convenient 
lorm the really practical knowledge necessary for a sailor ; which should give him, immediately 
at hand, a compendium of those thousand details prompt and thorough acquaintance with which 
makes the difference between the good and the incompetent seaman. 
This want Lieutenant Qualtrough, of the United States Navy, has now filled by a book 
wnicn is the most exhaustive and practical that could be planned.
