for the exclusive right II use his in

had not then come into use.
This privilege was denied, but the
Maryland Legislature granted the right
for fourteen years. There appeared AT
one time good prospects OF Evans oh.

to apply his steam engine to the propul'
sion OF boats ana road wagons. but some
cautious capitalists OF that day deter

advocating. Latrobe reported strongly
against the steam engine, saying tina
the inventor was a visionary.
This report ruined Evans's career, anc
deprived America Of the benefits Of tn,
