“The Mariners-Compass Rectified” by Andrew Wakely was originally published in 1665. 17th century copies are quite rare, but the book was reprinted in many editions over time. Our #FromTheVault copy was printed for Mount and Page, on Tower-Hill, in London in 1787. The moveable part is a volvelle, consisting of two concentric circles made of board, which could be used to aid in navigation.
