THE COMPLETE NAVIGATOR; or, an easy and familiar Guide to the Theory and Practice of Navigation, with all the requisite Tables, &c. &c. By ANDREW MACKAY, LL.D. F. R. S. Author of the Theory and Practice of finding the Longitude at Sea or Land, &c. In 1 large vol. 8vo. illustrated with Engravings, &c. Price 10s. 6d. bound.
* * The Utility of the Art of Navigation to every Commercial and Maritime State is obvious; but to none more so, than to Britain; and, as the lives and fortunes of many depend upon the accuracy of the Rules and Tables given in the books published on this subject, the greatest care imaginable ought, therefore, to be taken, in order to have them correct. This is not the case, however, with some of the most popular books; of which a few instances are pointed out in the preface to the present work, and which was one of the principal reasons for embarking in this undertaking. The Author has spared neither labour nor expense to render it deserving of the public attention, and as perfect as possible.
