of Mr. Symington's plans, and of an unauthorized inspection of the
models of his apparatus, in constructing the boats upon which his

Mr. JOHN KAY, of Rochdale, has also written, under the impres

of working small boats by hand-machinery, and larger vessels by
steam-engines. Mr. Kay is, however, evidently mistaken, as he states
the conversation to which he alludes to have taken place at Liverpool,

steam-machinery in 1788,
