Synopsis

Excerpt from The Marine Steam-Engine: Designed Chiefly for the Use of the Officers of Her Majesty's Navy

While the authors hope that the work now offered to the public is a step in the right direction, they are conscious of its many deficiencies, arising from its having been compiled in the midst of other business which did not admit of delay. Many of the rules also must be considered as empirical, especially those relating to an action, and are the result of reflection rather than of experience.
