The steamers and sailers registered at Lloyd's
are principally seagoing, and some few-French,
Belgian and others trading at British ports-are
foreign vessels Here we hsve comprehensive
view of the various kinds Of steamers, their nun
Der and class that are in use in the British Isles
Taking every steamer now standing on Lloyd's
list, and built since ls4l, only Il out of 100
are paddle steamers, and Of the screw steamers
81 per cent are built of iron. Of those built
sicce the commencement of 1854, lightweight
out of every hundred have the screw propeller,
and before another year is out nineteen out of
twenty of all seas DING steamers will be built of
iron and propelled by the screw.
These are simple facts requiring some elabora-
tiol and examination Of statistics to get at, but
simple and instructive when brought before the
mind at single view. viii our enterprising
