31, POULTRY, E.C., AND 11, KING STREET, TOWER HILL, E. ALSO SOLD BY STEVENS & HAYNES, 13, BELL YARD, TEMPLE BAR. 1897. ENTERED AT STATIONERS' HALL. Sperage PRICE 3/- VK THE rapidity with which the first Edition of this work has been sold, and the numerous favourable criticisms of it that have appeared in the Press, both at home and abroad, encourage me in the hope that my book is really useful and is well appreciated by the shipping world. In this Edition I have made scarcely any alteration except to improve, the utility of the book by the addition of an index and a table of cases. In offering this Edition of the New Rules of the Road at Sea, for the use of seamen, my principal object has been to supply a complete copy of the Rules themselves, and to illustrate them by the notes appended to each Article. The notes have been added to assist the reader in understanding such points of difficulty in the construction of the Rules as have been dealt with by decisions of the Courts in cases arising under such of the old Rules as are similar in language to the new Rules. I have thought that these notes would assist mariners more readily to grasp the effect of the alterations which have been made, and guide them when deciding upon the manoeuvres necessary for them to perform for the purpose of avoiding collisions. I have also endeavoured to point out the effect, and probable result, of some of the alterations, and the precautions to be taken in consequence thereof, and have ventured to call attention to the difficulties that may possibly arise from the alterations and additions that have been made, e.g., the Additional Lights of Articles 2 and 3, the new Sound Signals of Article 15, and the alteration of the Crossing Rule, Article 21, &c. With regard to my remarks upon the Regulations, when they are not either quotations or deductions from decided cases, I wish to disclaim any intention of being supposed to lay down the law as to the construction of these Rules. I have merely endeavoured, by aid of the decided cases, to explain the Rules, and to give a few obvious illustrations of the manner in which they may work or be construed in the future. This Edition has been published before the New Rules come into force, in order that vessels leaving England, and not likely to return before the 1st July, 1897, may be supplied. 6, KING'S BENCH WALK, TEMPLE.
