Dealer Notes

Smythe's surveys of the Mediterranean were the basis for the charts of the region used by the Royal Navy into the twentieth century. His experiences and findings provided background for the present work. The accompanying letter, to a Mr. Wright, concerns the etymology of certain English place names.
