Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Chronological History of the Origin and Development of Steam Navigation This volume is the outgrowth of a newspaper article on the origin, etc., of steam navigation, published in the Boston Commercial Bulletin in 1856 or 1857. My interest having been attracted to the subject, I have continued for twenty-five years to collect Notes for a History of Steam Navigation, most of which have been printed in the United Service during the last eighteen months. Those Notes, revised and chronologically arranged, with many additions, are the substance of this volume, which is believed to contain more facts relating to the progress of steam navigation over the world than have ever been gathered together in one book. The large share which is shown that Americans have had in the invention of the steamboat will be gratifying to my countrymen. To record all the improvements in the marine steam-engine from its inception to the present time would require many volumes. The abridgments or index of the specifications of patents in the English Patent-Office, relating to marine propulsion exclusive of sails, 1618 to 1866, fill two closely-printed 12mo volumes of 333 and 440 pages. The United States Patent-Office has published no such compendium. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
