Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Naval Architecture: Being the Substance of Those Delivered at the United Service Institution
The endeavour to supply, in some measure, the want which the author has experienced himself, was one object of the following papers, which were originally in the form of Lectures delivered to an assemblage, consisting mostly of members of his own profession.
In the first place is shewn what are the several qualities essential to an effective ship of war, and what are the peculiarities of form with which each of them in practice appears to be associated. For this purpose the forms of individual and well known ships, with their attendant qualities, are discussed.
