Excerpt from Ate Improvements in Steam Navigation the Arts of Naval Warfare: With a Brief Notice of Ericsson's Caloric Engine, Delivered Before the Boston Ayecum The following Lecture was prepared for the Boston Lyceum, and was delivered before that Association in December last. Its topics have proved of sufficient interest to induce frequent applications for its repetition, which, in consequence of professional engagements, the writer has been compelled in every instance to decline. He now acquiesces in its publication with reluctance, because it was not originally intended for the press, and must appear with the numerous defects, which in an oral discourse may be readily pardoned, but in the printed page cannot escape censure. The novelty of its materials, however, must compensate, so far as it may, for the rudeness of its execution.
