Where did you discover this pamphlet? -----Original Message----- From: Navigation Mailing List [mailto:NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM]On Behalf Of George Huxtable Sent: Thursday, September 16, 2004 1:20 PM To: NAVIGATION-L@LISTSERV.WEBKAHUNA.COM Subject: Chauvenet We were recently discussing William Chauvenet's "A Manual of Spherical and Practical Astronomy". I've just discovered an interesting 20-page pamphlet by Chauvenet, "Astronomy, comprising suggestions to U.S. naval officers, bearing on points connected with nautical astronomy, astronomical geography, and general astronomy", dated 1868. ================================================================
