Item description from seller

London, printed by Harrison and Sons, 1857. First edition thus. Octavo. (vi), 177pp, [1], [32]. A comprehensive manual detailing the structure, duties and procedures, both clerical and practical, of the United Kingdom Coast Guard service during the mid-Victorian era. Starting with the order of command, from the Comptroller-General to Boy 2nd Class, the manual then details the specific duties of officers, NCO’s and men. Specifics of correspondence are covered next, followed by the duties of officers in protection of the revenue. The next chapter details the claiming and division of rewards for seizures which is followed by a chapter on dealing with wrecks and salvage. Accounts, pay scales and allowances, the administration of buildings, rules governing pilots, stores, arms, quarantine etc are all covered and the final section which is quite large, covers what appears to be a myriad of different printed forms that coast guards may be required to fill in and submit. The text is followed by a long and detailed index at the end of the volume. A fascinating and very detailed overview of the operation of the UK Coast Guard service at this time. This is a rare volume. Worldcat and COPAC locate only one copy each of two earlier editions: 1829 and 1841 at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. No copies of this edition are located in any institutional library, nor any other copies of the earlier editions. Bound in contemporary half calf with cloth sides and a gold-lettered spine. Extremities of the binding rubbed, with the corners a little bumped and worn. Minor foxing to the first two pages. Otherwise, a very clean copy with the text block sound and the binding in good condition. NB The price of this item is variable dependent on your chosen payment method. Please feel free to make contact for further information and photographs of this item or to discuss payment options. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description de la boutique

I sell a small but diverse selection of mainly non-fiction antiquarian books online via ABE and also on Ebay under the trading name of N1.Books-and-Photographs. I tend to specialise in illustrated books, books on history, architecture, the applied arts, crafts and sciences but there are usually a few titles amongst my stock that stray into other fields. I am also a trained, working book restorer with over 30 years experience and am happy to quote on any book restoration project. You can see many examples of my work at www.sussexbookrestoration.co.uk and you are welcome to contact me via the link at that website should you have a book that may be in need of restoration or repair.
