Speaking of the old books... I forgot Norrie! (This treasure is available from the Mystic Seaport museum, see Frank's website, for free. I mean it is free to read on your screen, but I had to pay some small amount to the museum to e-mail me a PRINTABLE file. Hate reading books from the screen:-) This is indeed "hard for a modern reader" using George's expression. But Chauvenet I find very readable and very enjoyable... Perhaps I am not a "modern reader", sorry:-) Alex.
