Of "Steel Ships, " Revised, Enlarged, and Specially Arranged, With TesThe present volume is, in a large measure, the outcome of the gratifying reception with which the smaller work, Know your Own Ship, published in the Nautical Series, met on its first and subsequent editions. The success of that book emboldened its Author to embark, at the suggestion of the publishers, upon the preparation of a larger and more important undertaking, the result of which is now presented to the reader in the hope that it will be found, not less than the former work, to merit the approval of that section of the Shipbuilding world for whose needs it has been specially devised. A sketch of the plan of the book will be found at the end of this preface, it is therefore unnecessary here to do more than brie¿y outline the circumstances under which it has been written.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
