Ocean Steam Navigation and the Ocean Post, by Thomas Rainey. 1977 Eastern Press reprint of 1857 book by John Glenn Rainey. A small volume on early ocean steam navigation and ocean posts, a subject which engaged the most gifted statesmen and economists of Great Britain and Europe. The book makes a strong argument that steam mails upon the ocean controlled the commerce and diplomacy of the world, and that fast ocean mails were desirable for this purpose. Describes the mail lines of the world including lists of American ocean steamers, British steam mail service, steam lines between Europe and America, and much additional detail pertaining to ocean posts. 1977, perfect bound, card covers, 224 pages, new but a bit of shelf wear to covers.
