NAVAL ARCHITECTURE AND RELATED MATTERS: A very intersting small collection. 8 volumes: YOUNG, Charles F.T., 'The Fouling and Corrosion of Iron Ships: their causes and means of Prevention, with The Mode of Application to the Existing Iron-Clads'. Irrespective of the importance of the book (condition 'good' but with small flaws), interesting as it carries the gilt decoration of H.M.S.S. WARRIOR to the front board. The London Drawing Assoc., 1867. With Scott, Michael, 'Occasional Papers Vol. II, Gunnery and Naval Architecture', Longmans, 1874. With: White, W.H., 'A Manual of Naval Architecture etc.', 3rd rev. ed., John Murray, London, 1894. And: Walker, Sir Charles, 'Thirty-Six Years at the Admiralty', Lincoln Williams, London, 1933. And: Hamilton, Sir Vesey: 'Naval Administration', Bell, London, 1896. Three later but quite rare volumes: Pool, Bernard, 'Navy Board Contracts 1660-1832', Longmans; Rodger, N.A.M., 'The Admiralty', Terence Dalton, Lavenham, 1979; and Morriss, Roger: 'The Royal Dockyards During the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars', Leicester University Press, 1983.
