SCOPE OF THE VOLUME. 



Pew 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 enter upon a prolonged scientific study of the theory 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 

 comprehensive, and elementary at the same time, to suit the yacht owner's object of acquiring a general understanding of 

 the subject as a whole, with specific information and data covering the most recent practice.— From Author's Preface.
