Hardcover. First Edition. With an introduction by Brian Lavery. Edition Limited to 525 copies of which numbers 1 - 500 are for sale, this copy is unnumbered. To anybody acquainted with British maritime bibliography the name of David Steel (1733-1799) immediately brings to mind two titles, which between them represent the high water mark of English nautical publishing at the turn of the nineteenth century: his celebrated Elements and Practice of Rigging and Seamanship and the no less famous Elements of Naval Architecture. This new work presents an account of the life of David Steel and sets out to catalogue as fully as possible his considerable output, together with that of his successors, in Books, Charts, Pilots and Sailing Directions. There are 266 fully catalogued items, together with a Key to Sources, a Geographical Index, Chronological Index and an Alphabetical Index. ; Greenwich Maritime Monograph. Seller Inventory # 26582
