From Anderson:
Dassie's Architecture Navale of 1677 may not be up to the standard set by Witsen, but it is certainly far ahead of anything published in England before the eighteenth century. The first Book of 114 pages deals with sailing- ships, the second of 86 with galleys and the third of 85 with pilotage in European waters. A separate work usually bound up in the Same volume is Le Routier des Indes. Dassie gives us a long list of sea-terms, both for ships and galleys, full details of proportions for the hull and a very thorough account of the rigging of each mast and yard. Besides this, he gives "lines" from which one could reconstruct his typical ship, a 72 gun 2 decker, and explains exactly how the various sections were drawn.
From Brazilius:
Seond edition of 1695 is identical to the first edition with exception for a different introduction and no dedication. Errors in the pagination at p 200 where pp 113-114 follows and p 233 misnumbered 433.
