The importance and extent of the Transatlantic steam trade has, ever since its commencement, been the occasion of many interesting articles in magazines, newspapers, and scientific periodicals ; but, so far as I can trace, no publication has yet been issued which would, in itself, give an ordinary reader or passenger an idea of the routine, forethought, and general arrangements necessary to carry on such a far-reaching organization as a great steamship line, and which would, at the same time, set forth the various efforts of the noted merchants and scientists who have initiated and carried on the service, and also the nature and results of the more remarkable examples of vessels and machinery which they have employed.
