Excerpt from Text-Book of Theoretical Naval Architecture This book has been prepared in order to provide students and draughtsmen engaged in Shipbuilders' and Naval Architects' drawing offices with a text-book which should explain the calculations which continually have to be performed. It is intended, also, that the work, and more especially its later portions, shall serve as a text-book for the theoretical portion of the examinations of the Science and Art Department in Naval Architecture. It has not been found possible to include all the subjects given in the Honours portion of the syllabus, such as advanced stability work, the rolling of ships, the vibration of ships, etc. These subjects will be found fully treated in one or other of the books given in the list on page 292. A special feature of the book is the large number of examples given in the text and at the ends of the chapters. By means of these examples, the student is able to test his grasp of the principles and processes given in the text. It is hoped that these examples, many of which have been taken from actual drawing office calculations, will form a valuable feature of the book. Particulars are given throughout the work and on page 292 as to the books that should be consulted for fuller treatment of the subjects dealt with.

Excerpt from A History of Naval Architecture: To Which Is Prefixed, an Introductory Dissertation, on the Application of Mathematical Science to the Art of Naval Construction It is not hereby contended, that literary distinction should be a principal aim of the naval architect; the enlargement and applica tion of the theory, and the perfection of the art, are his immediate and legitimate objects. But the investigation and development of a theory so difficult, can be pursued only to the extent to which the study of the higher branches of mathematics and natural philosophy has been carried and this, commensurate with the requirements of the present day, can hardly be expected, unless the profession of Naval Architecture be raised in rank: a step called for by the naval interests of England, and by the national honour identified with those interests. France has her Gém'e Maritime, whose members have both education and rank befitting their place in the service of the State. England, too, some years since, formed a school of Naval Architecture, but afterwards repented of having done so; and several of its members, who have since withdrawn from the Government service, have reaped the reward of their talents in other quarters. After the lapse of sixteen years, the system has been partially revived, on an altered plan; as the establishment is yet, however, in an early stage of its reconstruction, any opinion, as to its probable value to the service in its present form, would be premature.
