Xii, 732 pages, [12 advertising] pages, 123 illustrations and diagrams, tables, dark blue cloth, gilt lettering on spine. Former owners name and address on front blank endpaper. Otherwise very nice, tight, clean copy. Text volume only. From the preface: The first edition of Yacht and Boat Sailing was published in 1879, and whilst the general plan of that edition has been maintained in successive issues, the matter relating to yachts and sailing boats has form time to time been considerably altered or exchanged for new subjects. The instruction as to rigging a yacht, seamanship, and the general handling of vessels under sail remains much the same as originally written, but where necessary each subject has been revised and made to accord with present practice. The chapters dealing with yacht racing have also been revised, and in many instances re-written; in short, the whole work has been brought up to date and made thoroughly representative of contemporary yachting in all its branches.
