The Sailing Boat: A Description of English and Foreign Boats

Encouraged by the success of previous Editions of this work, the Author has spared neither time nor expense to render the fourth Edition as complete as possible ; and with that view he has made considerable additions to the work, not only in regard to new matter, but also in the number of Illustrations it contains. As regards the letterpress, the present Edition is nearly one-fourth larger than the previous one ; and it contains more than double the amount of information comprised in the first Edition. It also contains about a hundred and twenty Illustrations, which is two-thirds more than the total number contained in the first Edition.
