Synopsis
Excerpt from Exposition Relative to a Discussion at the Institution of Civil Engineers on the Capabilities of Large Classes of Steamers
In the first place, - I beg to explain that, individually, I have taken up this subject purely as a mechanical question of steam-ship constructive efliciency in a dynamical point of view. I have not touched the question as regards the Mercantile, or the Statistical, or the Nautical considerations, which, m their respective departments, may bear powerfully on the case; and, as an Engineer, I have limited my estimate of Stock Cost merely to the probable investment that would, in my Opinion, be incurred in the fitting out of a single ship, if constructed of dimensions capable of fulfilling the required conditions, of the project as set forth by its prospectus.
