Excerpt from The Marine Steam-Engine: Designed Chiefly for the Use of the Officers of Her Majesty's Navy
Having experienced, while in the course of instructing others, during many years, the want of a practical work for reference, the authors have been in the habit of supplying the deficiency by manuscripts drawn up for the purpose; and having derived manifest advantage from their use, being moreover encouraged by the advice of their friends, they have been induced to publish them in a carefully arranged form with the object of facilitating thereby the labors of officers studying at the Royal Naval College, and with the hope of being, in some measure, of service to all who may be interested in acquiring steam-knowledge as applied to nautical purposes.
