contribute some thing to the advancement of the art of Shipbuilding;
and in that view he has for several years at leisure times
been employing himself in and gaining an insight into those
sciences from whence what--ever light that art is capable of receiving

went round from Chatham to Portsmouth with Capt:n Bazely
in the Formidable: and in Autumn he went was out in Adm. Keppel's fleet
on the second cruize.
