(n. p.): Done at the Metropolitan Press, 1821. Lacks original drab paper wrappers. 1st thus (American Imprints 7397). Later printing with List of Changes & Errata as last page of text. Occasional stain to paper, otherwise a Very Good copy.. 31, [1] pp. Changes / Errata last page. 12mo. 7-3/4" x 4-11/16"
Contains a wealth of service information, including date of present commission or warrant, date of original entry into the service, where born & current duty or station; also includes a list of vessels with their gun complement. Rare edition of this fantastic historical reference which was to become a staple in Navy life (how else, except reference to the "Register", would one know who was senior to whom?). OCLC shows no institutional holdings, and American Imprints shows but one. (Inventory #: 29483.1)
