Quarto, 128 pages, black & white illustrations, plans. Near fine in a near 
fine dust jacket, Jacket in Mylar protector.
      Deane was a Master Shipwright at Harwich and Portsmouth in the late 
17th century, and this treatise was originally commissioned by Samuel Pepys 
to explain the intricacies of designing a major warship of that period. The 
work is very detailed and thus provides a valuable record of Restoration 
ship design. In addition to reproductions of original illustrations there 
are appendices and a set of plans of Deane's most famous ship, the 70-gun 
Resolution. This copy belonged to noted naval architect Thomas C. Gillmer, 
and bears his bookplate on front pastedown and name penned on front free 
endpaper. Bound in dark blue textured paper over boards with spine lettered 
in gilt. Shallow bumps to top fore corners. Jacket has some shallow edge 
wrinkles....... $100.00
