There is a nice site about Bowditch (the man) at
www.nathanielbowditch.org
It is a Historic Salem initiative
www.historicsalem.org
Regarding Bowditch (the book) it would be
interesting to have the parts about lunars
( which are no longer present in the current
Bowditch edition ) published on the Internet.

Anyone interested in helping me assemble a history of Bowditch? I'm thinking of something that would describe the various editions, maybe a paragraph on each, similar to the listing in Campbell but verified and updated and covering the "H.O." and later editions, too.
