MARINE engines, in general, differ in their construction from those used on land in several points. As the weight of th...e machinery of steam-vessels, and the space which it occupies, necessarily excludes a portion of the cargo, it becomes an object of the greatest importance to diminish that weight and space to the utmost degree compatible with the requisite stability and means of working. These essential qualifications should be sought for by the adoption of the most judicious forms for obtaining the greatest strength and solidity with the least quantity of material. Marine engines should also be as simple as possible, consistently with their efficient performance : as they are exposed to severer trials than any other class of engines, they are consequently more liable to derangement ; and the delays and expense attending repairs become serious evils, as the profitable employment of the vessel is thereby suspended.
