Abstract
MR. STEBBING'S “Navigation and Nautical Astronomy” is the most satisfactory treatise on the subject we have yet seen. The author's experience, as a man of university attainments, a naval instructor afloat, and Admiralty examiner at Greenwich, has enabled him to produce a book that meets the practical and theoretical requirements of the modern navigator without being overladen with perplexing disquisitions or elaborate and unnecessary formulæ.
Navigation and Nautical Astronomy.
By F. C. Stebbing, Chaplain and Naval Instructor, Royal Navy. Pp. vii + 328. (London: Macmillan and Co., Ltd., 1896.)
