Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol. 5 of 6: From the Declaration of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George IV Neither the Jason nor the Hazard sustained any injury from the frigate or the battery; and the damages of the Cleopatra, on account of the secure position she had taken and the high firing of her antagonist, were chiefly confined to her rigging. The loss on board the Cleopatra, for the same reason, amounted to only two seamen killed and one wounded. The Topaze was tolerably struck in the hull, especially about the bows, and had, as acknowledged by her officers, 12 men killed and 14 wounded, out of a complement, including 100 soldiers, of about 430 men. One-third of these, when the frigates surrendered, took to the water; and several must have been drowned, or killed by the Jason's shot, in attempting to reach the shore. The Topaze, the same that, in July 1805, captured the Blanche, l was added to the British navy under the name of Alcmene, a Topaze being already in the service.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval History of Great Britain, Including the History and Lives of the British Admirals, Vol. 1 of 8 In order to do this effectually, it seemed requisite to intersperse the Memoirs or personal Histories of those illustrious men, who had distinguished themselves in this method of rendering service to their country. It appear ed to be a tribute justly due to those services, and, at the same time, expedient for the satisfi faction of the reader, who must naturally desire to be more intimately acquainted with those to whom the nation stood indebted for her discoveries or her conquests. Besides, it gave an opportunity to discuss minutely some points of consequence, that otherwise might have embarrassed the narrative, to vindicate some great characters from injurious aspersions, and to answer many other purposes, that serve to throw light upon the whole design. But to avoid, as far as possible, the' confounding Naval History with these Memoirs, it was found expedient, to place them at the end of every reign and the greatest attention possi ble has been bestowed, to prevent any' name; cessary repetition, or intermixing such circum stances ot' their lives, as had no connection with the character in which they are here con sidcred. Such was the plan adopted by the learned and judicious Dr. Campbell, whose work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Naval History of Great Britain 1805 1807 written by William James and published by Stackpole Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William James's Naval History is one of the most valuable works in the English language on the operation of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. James corresponded widely with the survivors of the events he describes. By carefully evaluating and balancing conflicting reports and testimonies, he achieved an accuracy often lacking in later studies. The original five volumes were published in 1822 to 1824, with a six-volume edition appearing in 1826. Previously, the work has been available only to scholars through specialist libraries. This new hardcover edition, with an introduction by the noted naval historian Andrew Lambert as well as an index for each volume, provides both scholars and maritime enthusiasts an accessible and affordable edition of this important work. Illustrated with charts, diagrams, and images, the work remains an essential source for all those who are interested in the operation of the Royal Navy in this period.
