Title: M'Gregor's Almanac & Tide Tables for 1873. McGregor
Description: Glasgow, D. McGregor & Co. 1873. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Hardcover. 164pp. Brown flexible embossed cloth, gilt lettering, marbled edges, 2 folding maps. Light shelfwear, gilt slightly chipped but all readable, inner hinge cracked, text block holding, title page not present, contents age-toned. Maps are lightly chipped along outer edge and clean tears archival tape repaired, in otherwise sound condition. Complete astronomical almanac information and Tide Tables showing the time of high water morning and evening, for the principal ports in the United Kingdom, plus a listing of the lighthouses of the United Kingdom. The last part of the book has a section on the "Treatment of the Apparently Drowned", with illustrations, followed by an extensive advertising section. One map is of Falmouth Harbour, and the other is the Firth of Clyde. But for the lack of a title page, a well-preserved scarce nautical record. Good.
