From: Gerard Mittelstaedt (gerardm@XXX.XXX)
Date: Mon Mar 29 1999 - 01:25:38 EST
The Seamans Secrets, a navigation manual authored by
John Davis is now available at the following URL
http://www.mcallen.lib.tx.us/books/seasecr/dseasec0.htm
The above brings up the transcriber's introductory comments
which leads to 2 largish pages, one for Book 1 and the other
for Book 2
http://www.mcallen.lib.tx.us/books/seasecr/dseasec1.htm
begins the first book (of 2)
The 8th edition from which this was transcribed was published
in 1643 in England.
Illustrations and tables are included as GIF files.
If it seems a little rough... you should see the "original"
from whence it was transcribed!
If, for any reason the above URLs don't want to work,
go to the main homepage and look for "Books" which
will lead you to the book
Enjoy,
