Sir Howard Douglas (1776 1861) fought in the Napoleonic wars in
Spain, taught at the Royal Military College, served as
lieutenant-governor of New Brunswick, lord high commissioner of the
Ionian Islands, and as a Conservative M.P. for Liverpool. A
military scholar, fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and
Royal Society and associate of the Institution of Naval Architects,
he wrote widely on bridges, systems of defence and attack, and on
Britain's North American provinces. Written in retirement, when
Douglas became an unofficial advisor to a succession of prime
ministers, this work addresses the use of steam to propel ships,
with detailed analysis of design, steering, propeller and paddle
engineering and considerations of speed and manoeuvrability. The
book goes on to examine tactics, including breaking the line, fuel
economy and fleet arrangement. Built upon by others, this important
work, first published in 1858, remains of interest to military
historians.
