"An Authentic Narrative of the Loss of the American Brig Commerce" by James Riley. This is the story of the Brig Commerce and its loss along the African coast. Included in this 3rd edition is a second book titled: "Narrative of the Shipwreck of the Ship Oswego Off the Coast of Barbary" by Judah Paddock. There is only one engraving left in the book with the rest of them torn out. Still an interesting read of the fate of two ships that were lost at sea and the trials and tribulations of their crew.
The spine has been recovered and the pages foxing on them along with pencil drawings of ships and other things.
