valves and slides, &c. as may be necessary, and should require the applicant to make use of them in giving his answers to the various questions put to him; and if an opportunity offer, he applicant shou be permitted, under the guidance of the Engineer, to start and stop an engine of some vessel which may have her steam up.

N.B.-LARDNER on the Steam Engine,” and Murray " on the Marine Engine,” two books published in Weale's Rudimentary Treatises, give considerable information, in a very concise manner, on the foregoing Questions; but it must be borne in mind, that a practical knowledge of the Steam Engine will alone enable the Candidate to enter into all the details to the satisfaction of the Examiners ; this practical knowledge can only be acquired by spending a short time in an Engineer's Workshop, or on board one of the numerous Steamers of our Coast.
