Excerpt from The Ohio and Mississippi Pilot: Consisting of a Set of Charts of Those Rivers, Representing Their Channels, Islands, Ripples, Rapids, Shoals, Bars, Rocks, &C.; Accompanied With Directions for the Use of Navigators

The Ohio Pilot is executed from the drawings and memo randums of Mr. Alexander Boyle, who has for several years been employed in navigating that river as a pilot and as a freighter of merchandise and was, during a great part of the time, in the habit of noting down his observations relative to its channels, bars, shoals, 8m. So far as I can learn his draw ings and remarks, have been made with extraordinary accu racy.
