Item Description

A wonderful piece of historical navigation, practical geometry & trigonometry literature with original pull out plates of diagrams, maps, & more. This book was printed in Dublin by Edwin Sandy's for George Grierfon in 1717. The book is in overall good antique condition, there are signs of wear consistent with age and years of use. There is evidence of some very very old repairs to the book (please refer to photos).
The book is also lined with an old newspaper column from Connecticut in 1760 & 1761. One of the stories is "Letter to the Freemen of Connecticut" and is dated March 20, 1761 and is a wonderful experience to hold & read. This piece of history will not disappoint, as well as being a very rare book especially in this condition, with its original leather binding.
