TAILIEUCHUNG - OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION AND THE OCEAN POST.

In offering to the Government and the public this little volume on Ocean Steam Navigation and the Ocean Post, I am conscious of my inability to present any new views on a subject that has engaged the attention of many of the most gifted statesmen and economists of this country and Europe. There is, however, no work, so far as I am informed, in any country, which treats of Marine Steam Navigation in its commercial, political, economic, social, and diplomatic bearings, or discusses so far the theory and practice of navigation as to develop the cost and difficulties attending. | OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION AND THE OCEAN POST.

In offering to the Government and the public this little volume on Ocean Steam Navigation and the Ocean Post I am conscious of my inability to present any new views on a subject that has engaged the attention of many of the most gifted statesmen and economists of this country and Europe. There is however no work so far as I am informed in any country which treats of Marine Steam Navigation in its commercial political economic social and diplomatic bearings or discusses so far the theory and practice of navigation as to develop the cost and difficulties attending high speed on the ocean or the large expense incurred in a rapid regular and reliable transport of the foreign mails. It has been repeatedly suggested to the undersigned by members of Congress and particularly by some of the members of the committees on the Post Office and Post Roads in the Senate and House of Representatives that there was no reliable statement such as that which I have endeavored to furnish on the general topics connected with trans-marine steam navigation to which those not specially informed on the subject could refer for the settlement of the many disputed points brought before Congress and the Departments. It is represented that there are many conflicting statements regarding the capabilities of ocean steam the cost of running vessels the consumption of fuel the extent and costliness of repairs
