Old Sailing Ships
In " The Book of Old Ships," Messrs. Culver and Grant trace the evolution of sea-going vessels from the ancient " round ship," whose length in proportion to breadth was in the proportions of: only two and a-half or three to one, to the galley, whoso length was anything from five to nine times its width, and so on through
infinite variety of " long ships" to the rare five-masted ship of the present day. The book is well printed, lavishly illustrated, and written with what seems, to a layman, every evidence of authority. " Thu Book of Old Ships," by Henry 3. Culver and Gordon Grant. (Hopkinaon.)
