Forth nnd Clydn Canal in 1788 and 1789.
Mr. S. was subsequently patronized by
Thomas Lord Dundas, in performing a se

an expense of nearly £3000. A boat with
a steam-engine, fully answered the expect

canal not being sufficiently wide to allow of
its working freely, and the gredl undulation
occasionad by the water wheels, injuring
the banks, it was laidgiside. Tiiis was in
1802, when Mr. Fulton, who happened to
lie travelling in Scotland, paid a visit to Mr
S. examined his boat, (tile Charlotte Dun

learned from him the objection made to it,
on account oftlie narrowness of the canal;
on whicli he observed tlmt, this objection
would not apply to the wide rivers of A-
merica. Having noted down in a memo-
riinilum book much important information,
obtained from Mr. Symington, Mr. Fulton
