I just found another interesting book from 1701 that I thought people on here would be interested in. Its entitled "An exact abridgment of all the statutes of King William and Queen Mary, and of King William III. in force and vse" by Joseph Washington and is about the parlimentary statutes issued during the year 1700. Of particular interest are pages 314-320 on the Statutes relating to Seamen.
