Excerpt from Lectures on Naval Architecture and Engineering: With Catalogue of the Exhibition The Lectures which form the greater part of this volume were delivered in connection with an Exhibition of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering in Glasgow, during the winter season of 1880-81. The Exhibition was initiated by the Museum Committee of the Town Council of Glasgow; but the dimensions it attained, and the large measure of success which attended the undertaking, were principally due to the efforts of a Committee of Shipbuilders and Engineers of the Clyde and other districts, by whom the active duties of the Exhibition were directed. The nature and scope of the Exhibition itself, and the sources whence the objects shown were drawn, will best be learnt from the Catalogue, which forms an appendix to this volume.
