8vo. A Rare Early Printing of THE seminal early American coastal navigation guide. This is the 2nd Edition, and the last to be printed in the 18th century. All of the Newburyport editions are quite scarce, and particularly so in original bindings, as many were lost in the Great Newburyport Fire of 1811. The first three editions of Blunt were all published without maps, the first with maps being the 1804 4th edition. Original leather, with gilt ruling to spine and red title label. Square tight binding. xvi, [17]-239pp, [2]. Clean interior, save for front flyleaf, which contains a contemporary signature of John Shipley. Overall a handsome and quite rare early Newburyport edition of Blunt's defining work.
