Providence, Rhode Island, The John Carter Brown Library, 2005.. Small folio (28.5 x 19.4 cm.), publisher's blue cloth with vertical short-title lettered in silver on spine, silver logo near foot, 5 x 10 cm. black label on front cover with short-title lettered in silver. As new. xvi pp., (1 l.), 275 pp., (1 blank l.). Author and title indexes. *** First published in 1979. In 1985 a supplement was published, with about 95 additional works acquired between 1979 and 1984, compiled by Everett Wilkie. In 2002 Richard Ring undertook to add over 100 items acquired from 1984 to 2002, and then to integrate the first two efforts, plus his own, into the present volume. Over 1,300 items are listed, organized by topic, such as navigation, piracy, marine architecture, and the law of the sea. The great majority of the titles were published before 1800. The 1979 publication included a "Special Section on Sir Francis Drake." That section has not been integrated into the present publication; it has been entirely superseded by a 1996 publication, Sir Francis Drake as Seen by His Contemporaries: An Essay by David Beers Quinn. With a Bibliographical Supplement of Works Relating to Drake at the John Carter Brown Library, Compiled by Burton Van Name Edwards.***
