Is there no digitized, online version of one
of the 1800's American Practical Navigator editions? I thought there was,
but could not find such a reference at mysticseaport.org or Frank's website, or
on google.

I'm thinking of something that would describe the various editions, maybe a paragraph on each, similar to the listing in Campbell but verified and updated and covering the "H.O." and later editions, too.
