Prima edizione
Full Calf. Condizione: Fine. Rare First Edition of Steel's exhaustive treatise on shipbuilding (complete in two continuously paginated volumes bound as one), a massive work addressing all things maritime in the age of sail. Demy 4to (262 x 204mm): xv,[3],185,185*,186-240; [4],245*-260*,244-425,[5],147,[1]pp, with 95 inserted copper-engraved plates (some folding and double-page), depicting shipbuilding, masts, ropes, sails, and the like; two volvelles (one defective), and numerous full-page tables. (Pagination is continuous but highly irregular, per ESTC.) Contemporary full tree calf covers with old reback, flat spine gilt in six compartments, red leather lettering piece gilt, marbled end papers, separate title pages. Book plate of conservationist Frederick E. Ellis (1916-2010), of Shaw Island, Washington. A superb example in period binding, tightly bound and clean throughout, with excellent impressions of the plates; compass volvelle absent movable pointers. Bibliotheca Nautica 1339 ("One of the outstanding works on the subject"). Adams & Waters 3275. RCIN 1059213. According to the Preface, "The germe of this work was a small and incomplete treatise on sail making, which some years ago came into the possession of the publisher. In the course of rendering that fit for general use, the reciprocal dependence of the naval arts was discerned; and it was instantly resolved to collect them all together, . . . " By the late eighteenth century, Britain was the pre-eminent naval power, but faced challenges from French militarisation following the Revolution of 1789, "forcing the Royal Navy to construct hundreds of new ships over a short period. The Elements & Practice of Rigging & Seamanship provides extensive instructions on how to prepare a ship for sail and the basics of seamanship and naval tactics. It is heavily illustrated with engraved plates and moveable diagrams and covers everything from mast- and sail-making to rigging and rope-making. There are also illustrated comparisons between various British ships to other European ships as well as to Chinese and Polynesian sailing vessels." (Royal Collection Trust) N. B.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Dust Jacket. First Edition. Xv, [ii], 242; [ii], 243-425, [v], 147 pp (numerous errors of pagination but all is present). 95 plates, including folding and 2 folding plates with volvelles (all of the parts of the volvelles are present but they are disconnected) .

Some rubbing and general wear to the covers, joints a bit tender but still holding. Interior gutters of endpapers show some tearing of the marbled paper.

Occasional light humidity staining and foxing here and there, paper is toned, but generally clean and strong. Some of the folding plates/tables are starting to separate at the folds. Offsetting and foxing to the plates and tables. Occasional ownership stamp of W. F. Megee (one covered over) -- May refer to William Fairchild Megee (1765-1820) of Providence, R. I. Who "served as supercargo on board John Brown's ship George Washington on the first trading voyage from Rhode Island to China and the East Indies in 1787. He sailed again to China in 1789, and later owned or co-owned several ships active in the trade. He also engaged in the slave trade in South America from his sloop Resource as late as 1806, and may have been a partner with merchant Edward Carrington on some ventures. Megee died in Canton in 1820, where he was operating as a factor. " Could also be his son, William F. Megee, Jr. (1795-1826) who was also a sea captain. A handsome set in good condition, heavy for international shipping. "The Elements & Practice of Rigging & Seamanship provides extensive instructions on how to prepare a ship for sail and the basics of seamanship and naval tactics. It is heavily illustrated with engraved plates and moveable diagrams and covers everything from mast- and sail-making to rigging and rope-making. There are also illustrated comparisons between various British ships to other European ships as well as to Chinese and Polynesian sailing vessels." (Royal Collection Trust). ".the first comprehensive English manual of best naval practice. Designed for aspiring young officers, it established Steel's reputation as a publisher. The book describes theoretical and practical aspects of masts, rigging, and sails, and the science of sailing. The combination of practical advice supported by scientific and mathematical explanations and numerous illustrations provides valuable insights into British seamanship during the Napoleonic wars."

Prima edizione
Edition : First Edition, Original half tan calf over marbled paper boards. Spine with gilt lettering, devices, and fillet. All edges marbled. , The 2 unique plates in vol. 2 are described in the text as such:?[The first figure is a] picture of all the courses which a ship can make, the wind being in any given point. The outer circle of this figure is marked with the points of the compass; the inner circle is moveable round its own center; and, if the arrow be brought to that point of the outer circle from which the wind is supposed to blow, all the various courses, on both tacks, that may be failed with that wind, will be instantly seen? (280).?The second figure?is the miniature of a ship, so contrived as to convey a very lively idea of the manner of working a ship in tacking, veering, &c. The extreme circle is supposed to be the horizon, marked with the points of the compass. The inner graduated circle is divided into 360 degrees. The moveable circle is intended to represent the direction of a tide, current, or swell of the sea, whenever their setting varies from the direction of the wind; but, in cases where neither tide, current, or swell of the sea exist, or where they run directly to leeward, this moveable circle is to be turned, so as that the lines which cross it are parallel with the wind??
