Remarkably, there is barely any wear to the boards for both. Volume I contains 234 pages of text followed by a two page appendix and is illustrated with a frontispiece fold-out map of the Mediterranean, three single page maps and two plates. Note: there is a small chip in page 101/102 in the fore margin which does not impact on the printed text. Volume II contains 232 pages of text followed by a four page appendix and a single page of errata and is illustrated with a fold-out map of the archipelago between Greece and Turkey as a frontispiece, a fold-out map, two single page maps and two plates. George Jones (1800-1870) was hired as a civilian by the US Navy as a "schoolmaster" to instruct young midshipmen in navigation and general school lessons. In this capacity he was aboard the USS Brandywine for 7 months during which time the Brandywine took General Lafayette back to France following his tour to the US. Then Jones transferred to the USS Constitution and was aboard her for 2 years 4 months cruising through the Mediterranean. During these two assignments he wrote 67 letters to himself every two to three weeks describing in great detail the ships and the life on board an American ship of war and the ports visited and the customs and people he encounter in those ports of call.
