The Modern Light-House Service (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Modern Light-House ServiceDuring the preparation of this work I consulted and drew more or less freely upon my previous professional papers, published in Appleton's Annual Cyclopedias, and in the Popular Science Monthly, for which due credit is given in the text. Findlay's light-houses of the World, the Ad miralty Lists, and the Sailing Directions issued bv the Navy Department furnished me with the statements as to light-houses of the various nation alities. The account of the light-dues charged by other countries than Great Britain and the United Statrs is based upon the pages of Urqu hart's Dues and Charges on Shipping in Foreign Parts and the book on Port Charges of the World, by Messrs. Hunter and Patten. The Hydrog rapher of the Navy and the naval officers under him have placed me under many obligations, as have the officers of the Department of State and the Bureau of Navigation of the Treasury Department, and I have availed myself of Heap's Ancient and Modern light-houses, Barnard on light-houses, and the published reports of the light-house Board. But with all this help I should not have been able to finish this paper in the short time allowed me but for the intelligent assistance of Mr. E. S. How, of this office. The labor could only be performed at night, after the current work of the dav had been accomplished, and there has been little opportunity for revision.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
