Excerpt from Views of Commodore George W. Melville: Chief Engineer of the NavyIt has been well said that With the development of the marine engine the sea unites rather than divides widely separated lands, and to this it may be added that the swift progress of steam in marine pro pulsion has been a most potent factor in shaping the exterior policy of maritime nations, and still more in modifying, not the principles, but the scope and methods of naval strategy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
