“The first serious study of British naval architecture” (ODNB).

“The most authoritative book on eighteenth-century ship building published in England. An unusual feature is the large number of booksellers, thirty-five in all, who participated in the sale of the book and whose names appear on the title-pages. The production of the plates was evidently undertaken by ten of these dealers…their names appear in the imprints throughout the book.” (Abbey Life), ODNB; Abbey Life 331
