Ten Pound Island Books (www.tenpound.com) has for sale in its current catalog a set of longitude tables by one George Margetts of London, which I don't believe I have heard of before. The list archive searcher returns no hits (but then, it also doesn't return any hits for "lunars", so I think it's on strike). Has anyone heard of these tables and know what method they use? BTW, the same catalog is also offering a Blunt/Bowditch edition of Moore's Navigator, in case any list members have had a windfall and want to treat themselves. -- Peter
