• INTILLIAM HIRST, •of Leeds, who -first brought
•V V into use, in the year 1816, the Hydraulic Press, which
had before this time laid fifteen years in the lumber room as of
no use, and declared then to he of no value at all, intends in a
few days to visit Liverpool, with a WORKING MODEL FOR
PROPELLING VESSELS .OF ALL SIZES, partly on-the Hy-
draulic principle. Where ioNborse power Engine is used now,
I engage to Propel as fast with 10-horse power, and in propor-
tion for all other sized Vessels '.and with 20-horse power, where
100-horse is used now, I engage-to reach America in three days
less time than now ; and.with.3o-borse power for 100 nosy used,
I engage to reach America -in half the time of any now in use,.
and.without that tremulous motion now felt by Paddle Wheels.
When I have proved the above-to the Shipowners of Liverpool,
I will leave to them, Government, and the World, to reward me
as they think it deserves. I know it is the greatest improve-
ment in Navigation ever known, and none will believe it.till it
is seen. A Gentleman told me -there bad been coo Patents
taken out for Propelling, but few is in use. I shall not takcout
any Patent, but leave it as above; as I have not money to do:so,
having spent much this last seven.years in experiments.
