Synopsis
Excerpt from Calculations Relating to the Equipment, Displacement, Etc. Of Ships and Vessels of War
N o vanity of authorship prompts me to present to the public this fruit of many years' study and close application I send it forth, as I, at first, undertook it, at the suggestion of kind and discerning friends, many of them of high rank and consideration in the Naval Service. These friends, under the impression that I was fully equal to the task, from my pro fessional training, and consequent acquirements and experience.
