Description: WHEN taking into consideration the number of excellent works now published on navigation there would seem
to be a small chance of finding a different angle from which
to discuss the subject. The purpose of the majority of such books is to give instruction to those commencing a
study of the subject. This book, however, while being
adapted to beginners, is written particularly for the men
who do their work mostly by rote and wish to know more of
the reasons; or, perhaps, for schoolship graduates who may
here find a chance to extend their horizons.
I have not considered it desirable to avoid repetition
and in order to closely follow a line of thought have
freely repeated many points already taken up. This
has in a number of cases avoided the distraction of seeking a page of reference elsewhere.
I have had in mind that it serve as supplementary
reading to the American Practical Navigator, Bowditch,
that great bulwark of navigation which for over a hundred
years has guided the masters of American ships through
every deed of valor and every commercial adventure. It is placed beyond criticism by its venerable name and its remarkable record and, as a reference book for the navigator, it stands without a peer, but as a text book it founders
the beginner.
