It is manifest that publications of this character must be subject to numerous correc tions in the details after the lapse of a few years. To maintain the volume in a useful form corrections are issued in 'Notices to Mariners,' insertion sheets and supplements; and each volume is revised and passed to a new edition when the corrections have assumed proportions that impair its usefulness, or more recent surveys show changes or furnish addi tions that render the old volume untrustworthy.
