Description (What the record is about)
-
John Clevland. Monsieur Genevois has proposed some improvements for the Navy which he was asked to put into writing. He delivered a book which was printed with an outline of what he proposed. The absence of one of the surveyors prevented us considering his proposals until the end of last month when an experiment was to be made. He does not seem to be acquainted with the difficulty we would have in putting his proposals into practice but because he has gone to great lengths, ask if a trial should be undertaken
