Synopsis
Excerpt from Wrinkles in Practical Navigation
Should this belief be justified by results, the Fifteenth Edition of Wrinkles will serve not less than two purposes: It will continue to awaken the interest of the student by making the subject attractive, and to train his intelligence by bringing before him whatever is striking, novel, and instructive in the particular branches of the nautical profession with which it deals; and it will perpetuate the high navigational knowledge, and the capacity for taking pains, which were such marked features of the Author's lil'e.
