The marine chronometer : its history and development : incorporating Gould's own amendments and additions from his original annotated manuscripts /Rupert T. Gould ; with new illustraion and a foreword to this edition by Jonathan Betts.

This long-awaited new edition of Gould's seminal text on the development of the marine chronometer not only faithfully reproduces the original, but also includes the author's own extensive notes, made in preparation for a second edition. These amendments, additions and sketches are carefully placed to clearly distinguish them from the original text. The volume also includes an insightful Foreword by Jonathan Betts, as well as a new gallery of 65 images, comprising portraits, up-to-date photographs and black and white images from Gould's collection.
