=========================
from George-
No, never come across that one. My guess is that it would be a course-text
for the Board-of-Trade exams. Cotter was a lecturer at the Maritime College
in Cardiff.
Cotter also re-edited Burton's slim "The art of Astronomical Navigation",
in 1975, after Burton had died, but it's not a work I value greatly.
