Excerpt from Modern Shipbuilding and the Men Engaged in It: A Review of Recent Progress in Steamship Design and Construction, Together With Descriptions of Notable Shipyards, and Statistics of Work Done in the Principal Building Districts

The work is concerned exclusively with shipbuilding for the merchant marine, and no attempt is made to trace the progress connected with naval shipbuilding, although some of the many important influences which the one exerts upon the other have been indicated. Even as thus defined and restricted, the field of review is so vast that the limits which I had determined should bound the work with respect to price, and consequently with respect to size, have compelled me to treat briefly and in a general way many matters which it might have been of interest to enlarge upon. The list of authoritative papers and lectures to which readers can at first hand refer - given at the end of each chapter - may, it is hoped, compensate to some extent for these deficiencies.
