Excerpt from The Physical Geography of the Sea
I. The primary object of The Wind and Current Charts, out of which has grown this Treatise on the Physical Geography of the Sea, was to collect the experience of every navigator as to the winds and currents of the ocean, to discuss his Observations upon them, and then to present the world with the results on charts for the improvement of commerce and navigation.
II. Accordingly, when this Object was made known, and an ap peal was addressed to mariners, there was a ?ight up into the gar rets, and a ransacking of time-honored sea-chests in all the mari time communities of the country for Old log-books and sea journals.
