✦ Synopsis

work, the remainder being devoted to hydrostatics of ship construction, tonnage measurement, stability, the action of sails, resistance of vessels and other scientific matters relating to naval architecture.

This part, while treated with great thoroughness, is yet simpler than most works on this subject, being almost entirely free from higher mathematics, a consideration of importance to those, who, after years of practice in the engineering profession, have become somewhat rusty in the integral and differential calculus.
