Abstract
THE Admiralty Manual of Compass Deviation with its auxiliary Eiemenatry Manual would, after some lapse of time, appear to have been turned to good account by teachers of navigation. The small volume under review is one of a plentiful supply which appears to be now issuing from the press on a subject of vast importance to seamen of the present generation; and as such is deserving of notice.
