Abstract
THE author is instructor in steam and marine engineering at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, and has prepared a text-book on marine engineering, primarily for the use of naval officers. This text-book has reached a second edition. In connection with recent changes in the training of cadets and junior naval officers, a new syllabus of instruction in heat and steam has been issued by the Admiralty. As a consequence, Commander Tompkins has found it necessary to modify certain portions of his text-book, and has done so in the present pamphlet, which he terms an “Introductory Supplement.” Young naval officers will be enabled to use this at once, in association with the text-book, and as soon as arrangements can be made the new matter is to be incorporated in the second edition.
