The Sextant is a book written by Henry Wilberforce Clarke and first published in 1885. The book is a comprehensive guide to the use of the sextant in navigation, including detailed descriptions of the instrument, its history, and its practical applications. The book is divided into three parts: the first part provides an overview of the sextant and its use in navigation, the second part covers the theory and mathematics of the instrument, and the third part includes practical examples and exercises for the reader to complete. The Sextant is widely regarded as a classic work on the subject and has been used as a reference by sailors and navigators for over a century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and practice of navigation, as well as for those who need to use the sextant in their work or hobbies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
