Sinopsis
Excerpt from Remarks Oh Steam Navigation, and Its Protection, Regulation, and Encouragement: In a Letter to the Right Honourable William Huskisson
Sir, A vessel has lately been fitted up to go to Cal cutta, which is to be impelled by steam-power, and having been in it during a short excursion to try the power of the engines, I was naturally led to reflect on the probable benefits of this mode of propelling vessels.
The subject has often engaged my attention, and its progressive improvement I had watched with no common interest; for surely no other art ever advanced with such gigantic strides in the public service.

Excerpt from Remarks Oh Steam Navigation, and Its Protection, Regulation, and Encouragement: In a Letter to the Right Honourable William Huskisson
A system of communication and traffic which promises so much will unquestionably receive every attention which is due to its importance from every branch of His Majesty's Government; and, indeed, by one department, the Post-office, it has not only been encouraged but applied, (and most successfully, to facilitate the communication between this country and Ireland; consequently, having experienced its advantages, they can have no doubt that they are dispensing a real benefit in affording it their warmest support.
There is, however, another and a most im portant duty for the Government to attend to in consulting the interests of steam-navigation, and to which it is the principal object of this letter to direct your notice. Steam-power has been chiefly used for passage-vessels, and it is to pro vide for the security of the lives and property of the passengers that certain regulations have now become necessary; and I trust I shall be able to show that an attention to such regulations would most effectually tend to improve the certainty and safety of steam-navigation.
