To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

There was little wind and a smooth sea. The trial lasted for four hours, and the mean results were — boiler pres- sure, 14(3 lb. ; vacuum, 27*35 ; revolutions, 101*7 starboard, and 1048 port, a remarkable indication of the uniformity of action in the two sets of engines ; total indicated horse- power, 13, 174, or 174 beyond what had been stipulated for. Some effective alterations had been made in the slide valves ; and the leakages in the stokeholds, which prevented the fans for compressed air ...doing their proper work, had been stopped. The consumption of coal was 2*24 lb. Per indicated horse-power per hour. Altogether, the trial was a gi*and success. " As further examples of the machinery of the most modern battleships I here give addi- tional sketches of the engines of the Prince George, by Messrs. Humphrys and Tennant, and the Ccesar, by Messrs. Maudslay. They are of exactly the same power, and are intended for sister ships.
Now, there are only two battleships of a smaller class, 10, 500 tons and 13, 000 horse-power, but most people think there might well be more, when three of them could be built for the cost of two Magnificent' 's.
