Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 6: From the Declaration of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George IV In 1769, James Watt, then a mathematical instrument-maker in Glasgow, obtained a patent for his great invention of perform ing condensation in a separate vessel from the cylinder. To this he made many subsequent improvements, and acquired additional patents. In 1778, the notorious Thomas Paine pro posed the application of steam in America and in 1807, Robert Fulton, a native of Pennsylvania, started a small steam-boat on the Hudson river. The progress of this vessel through the water scarcely exceeded five miles an hour. Fulton had medi tated on the experiment since 1793 but although he claimed to be the first who applied water-wheels to the purposes of steam navigation, most assuredly he was not the inventor. Yet he has often been so called, as in naming the new world, Amerigo Vespucci has supplanted Columbus to whom the lawful parent. Age belongs. Mr. Millar, of Dalswinton, in Dumfriesshire, a Scotch gentle man of good family and fortune, and with a mind devoted to mechanical inquiry, expended many years, and many thousands.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval History of Great Britain, Including the History and Lives of the British Admirals, Vol. 6 of 8 At the meeting of parliament, November 25th, 1779, the speech which was delivered from the throne, was more remarkable for what it omitted, than for the topics on which it dwelt. Nothing was said respecting the state of affairs in America, or the West Indies; no hope of success in the war between the United States and Great Britain, was held out. Indeed, every thing relative to the war was cautiously passed over in silence. The designed attempts of the house of Bourbon, to press down and destroy the power of this country, were alluded to; and his Majesty expressed his firm reliance on the courage and fidelity of his subjects, that he should he able to withstand the combined power of his enemy; and finally to work out by their means a safe and honourable peace: it was, therefore, very extraordinary, that as a direct allusion was made to the restless and encroaching power of the house of Bourbon.
