Excerpt from Our Iron-Clad Ships, Their Qualities, Performances, and Cost: With Chapters on Turret Ships, Iron-Clad Rams, &C, The iron-clad ship question is so continually under discussion in the public press, and is justly deemed of so much importance to the country, that the publication of further information respecting it appears to be in many ways desirable. It is a question which cannot be thoroughly discussed in popular language - which alone I propose to employ in the present work - for it embraces many profound scientific problems but there is a large mass of information relating to it which is perfectly susceptible of familiar exposition, and which there is no good reason for withholding from the reading public.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
