Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Navigation by Steam Sir, The era which placed your Royal Highness at the Helm of the British Navy, being that of the introduction of the Steam Engine into His Majesty's Fleet, I had the honor to lay before your Royal Highness my proposition of publishing a System of the Naval Tactics peculiar to Steam Navigation, the result of much labour and enquiry; urging the necessity of instructing the Officers of the Royal Navy, in the theory of that important part of their profession. Notwithstanding the general prejudice against innovations on a system which has for ages protected the nation, and raised our naval renown to the pinnacle of glory, Your Royal Highness patiently listened to my arguments and suggestions, and, with a laudable desire to afford every facility to improvements, was graciously pleased to sanction my humble undertaking, and to permit me to dedicate the fruits of my labours, to The Lord High Admiral.

This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes for a History of Steam Navigation The little publication in which Hulls attempted to make his scheme known to the world was printed in London in 1737. It is entitled A Description and Draught of a new-invented Machine for carrying Ves sale or Ships out of or into any Harbour, Port, or River against Wind and Tide or in a Calm. In his preface he says, There is one great hardship lies too commonly upon those who propose to advance some new though useful scheme for the public benefit. The world abou cd ing more in rash censure than in a candid and unprejudiced estimation of things, if a person does not answer their expectations in every point, instead of friendly treatment for his good in tentions, he too often meets with ridicule and contempt. But I hope this will not be my case, but that they will form a judgment of my present undertaking only from trial. If it should be said that I have filled this tract with things that foreign to the matter proposed, I answer: There is nothing in it but what is necessary to be understood by those who desire to know the nature of that machine which I now offer to the world, and I hope that, through the blessing of God, it may prove serviceable to my country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Steam Engine: From the Seventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica But the alterations and additions are too numerous and many of them too trivial to be all noticed here. The foot notes, however, after page 1 7 are all new. Perhaps it is still necessary to crave the same indulgence from the reader as is done in the preface to the first edition. It may be pr0per to add that various other particulars connected with the subject will be found in the articles Steam and Steam Navigation; which, besides forming parts of the Encyclopedia, have been published toge ther in a separate volume. The like may be said of the article Railways. It is also principally in these depart ments that the more recent improvements connected with steam have taken place.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Remarks Oh Steam Navigation, and Its Protection, Regulation, and Encouragement: In a Letter to the Right Honourable William Huskisson Sir, A vessel has lately been fitted up to go to Cal cutta, which is to be impelled by steam-power, and having been in it during a short excursion to try the power of the engines, I was naturally led to reflect on the probable benefits of this mode of propelling vessels. The subject has often engaged my attention, and its progressive improvement I had watched with no common interest; for surely no other art ever advanced with such gigantic strides in the public service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Steam Engine in Its Application to Mines, Mills, Steam Navigation, and Railways: By the Artizan Club The present Work makes its appearance under many disadvantages. The circumstance of having been pub lished in monthly numbers furnishes, Of itself, an explanation Of many imperfections; for it can hardly be expected that works produced under the exigencies of periodical publication should be distinguished by the perfections which belong to literary leisure and fastidious elaboration. The time which the practical engineer can devote to literary undertakings must, under any circumstances, be inconsiderable, and the late pressure in the engineering world has further abbreviated this precarious leisure. I have been obliged to confide the greater portion of the theoretical part Of the present work to some mathematical assistants, whose algebra has, I fear, sometimes risen to a needless luxuriance, and in whose superfine speculations the engineer may perhaps discern the hand of a te. The makers of steam engines, again, have, for some time past, been so overwhelmed with work, that the drawings and other particulars Of their machinery, which they had signified their willingness to furnish, they have in some cases been unable to send early enough to come in at the proper place; and faults of arrangement have been rendered inevitable by these irregularities, which I could neither rectify nor control. I do not mention these impediments to a more perfect execution as an excuse for any faults the work may contain, which I am sensible cannot be materially extenuated by such pleas; but I wish merely to suggest, that the demerits Of an author or editor are not fairly measurable by the demerits Of his work, when many of those faults have had their origin in the unpropitious circumstances Of its production. In spite, however, of its imperfections, I believe that the present Treatise on the Steam Engine is likely to prove the most useful yet published; and it is the only one, I believe, which can be regarded as Of a really practical character. Although falling far short of my conceptions of what such a work should be, I believe that it substantially fulfils the promise held out in the prospectus; and having now collected the rough materials, I trust to be able, should another edition be called for, to clear them Of the dross by which they are now disfigured, and present them in a form that will in some measure justify the public approbation. In the haste of publication several errors have gained admission, the more prominent of which are noticed in the errata. I am by no means insensible to the import ance Of rigid accuracy in works Of any scientific pretension; yet, inasmuch as I believe the errors of the present work will be found to be errors, not Of ignorance, but, at the worst, of haste or inadvertence; as they inculcate no false views, involve no dangerous fallacy, and, for the most part, carry their own correction, I believe that they cannot materially diminish the utility Of the work, or impair the authority Of its statements.
