Excerpt from The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol. 4 of 6: From the Declaration of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George IV Sir Richard's squadron being at this time very much scattered, the commodore directed Captain Baker to make sail to the south south-east, and hasten forward the ships astern. The Caesar then bore away under all sail, with the wind at west-north-west, followed at a great distance by the Hero, Courageux, and jeolus. Scarcely had the Phoenix stood away from the Caesar before the light of the moon discovered to Sir Richard the objects of his chase, then in the east-north-east, under a press of canvas, in the act of bearing away, closely formed in a sort of bow and quarter line. The Caesar and her three nearest consorts con tinned the pursuit until the setting of the moon, at about 1 h. 30 m. A.m. On the 3rd, accompanied by hazy blowing weather, concealed the enemy from view; they then Shortened sail, to await the coming up of their friends astern.

Excerpt from The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol. 5 of 6: From the Declaration of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George IV Neither the Jason nor the Hazard sustained any injury from the frigate or the battery; and the damages of the Cleopatra, on account of the secure position she had taken and the high firing of her antagonist, were chiefly confined to her rigging. The loss on board the Cleopatra, for the same reason, amounted to only two seamen killed and one wounded. The Topaze was tolerably struck in the hull, especially about the bows, and had, as acknowledged by her officers, 12 men killed and 14 wounded, out of a complement, including 100 soldiers, of about 430 men. One-third of these, when the frigates surrendered, took to the water; and several must have been drowned, or killed by the Jason's shot, in attempting to reach the shore. The Topaze, the same that, in July 1805, captured the Blanche, l was added to the British navy under the name of Alcmene, a Topaze being already in the service.

Excerpt from Naval History of Great Britain, Including the History and Lives of the British Admirals, Vol. 6 of 8 At the meeting of parliament, November 25th, 1779, the speech which was delivered from the throne, was more remarkable for what it omitted, than for the topics on which it dwelt. Nothing was said respecting the state of affairs in America, or the West Indies; no hope of success in the war between the United States and Great Britain, was held out. Indeed, every thing relative to the war was cautiously passed over in silence. The designed attempts of the house of Bourbon, to press down and destroy the power of this country, were alluded to; and his Majesty expressed his firm reliance on the courage and fidelity of his subjects, that he should he able to withstand the combined power of his enemy; and finally to work out by their means a safe and honourable peace: it was, therefore, very extraordinary, that as a direct allusion was made to the restless and encroaching power of the house of Bourbon.

Excerpt from The Naval History of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 6: From the Declaration of War by France in 1793, to the Accession of George IV In 1769, James Watt, then a mathematical instrument-maker in Glasgow, obtained a patent for his great invention of perform ing condensation in a separate vessel from the cylinder. To this he made many subsequent improvements, and acquired additional patents. In 1778, the notorious Thomas Paine pro posed the application of steam in America and in 1807, Robert Fulton, a native of Pennsylvania, started a small steam-boat on the Hudson river. The progress of this vessel through the water scarcely exceeded five miles an hour. Fulton had medi tated on the experiment since 1793 but although he claimed to be the first who applied water-wheels to the purposes of steam navigation, most assuredly he was not the inventor. Yet he has often been so called, as in naming the new world, Amerigo Vespucci has supplanted Columbus to whom the lawful parent. Age belongs. Mr. Millar, of Dalswinton, in Dumfriesshire, a Scotch gentle man of good family and fortune, and with a mind devoted to mechanical inquiry, expended many years, and many thousands.
