SCOPE OF THE VOLUME. 



Few new buyers of steam yachts have more than a vague 

 comprehension of the driving power of their vessels,"and 

 few have the time or inclination to outer 

 upon a prolonged scientific study of the the- 

 ory of steam machinery, particularly when 

 the practical results to them do not seem 

 proportional to the efforts put forth. This 

 volume is intended to be sufficiently com- 

 prehensive, and elementary at the same 

 time, to suit the yacht owner's object of ac- 

 quiring a general understanding of the sub- 

 ject as a whole, with specific information 

 and data covering the most recent practice.
