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.
