Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons and Practical Notes on Steam, the Steam Engine, Propellers
Much of the present work has been taken from the Author's Journal, and the remainder has been sup plied, from time to time, as he found leisure from his hours of business.
Our object has not been so much to supply want ing information, as to direct the student into the habit of thinking and reasoning for himself on those subjects which may be presented for his consideration, and which, in order that he may become eminent in his profession, he must thoroughly understand. It is not sufficient to assert that Newton said this, or somebody else said that. The reasons why they said it, and the fundamental principles upon which they based their conclusions, are necessary to be understood, in order to have a clear understanding of the subject; and if we have succeeded in making any thing more clear, or in rendering any service to that class of persons who are eagerly seeking for information, but who re quire some assistance to direct them in the proper channel, our only object in launching this, our little bark, on the troubled sea of authorship, is fully aecom~ plished, conscious all the while, however, of the many imperfections it contains.
