Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from New and Accurate Method of Finding a Ship's Position at Sea
I have not the honor of a personal acquaintance with Capt. Sumner, but he is one of those web-foots whose acquaintance I should feel an edifying pleas ure in cultivating; at the same time, I am proud to see and acknowledge that this discovery has been made by an American Ship Master. This work should be in the hand of every master of a vessel, aye, and mate too, and should be the never-failing accompaniment of Bowditch's great work on navigation.
Wishing you and Capt. Sumner every success in the sale of this work which its merits entitle it to.
