GRENVILLE CATALOGUE (Vol. i. p. 351.)
"Hulls, Jonathan. A Description and Draught of a new-invented Machine
for carrying vessels or ships out of, or into any harbour, port, or
river, against wind and tide, or in a calm. For which his Majesty has
granted letters patent, for the sole benefit of the Author, for the
space of Fourteen years. London, 1737, folding plate.[10] 8vo. R.[11]
"This new invented machine is a steam-boat. It entirely puts an end to
the claims of America to the invention of steam navigation, and
establishes for this country the honour of that important discovery."
HENRY FOSS.

"_The lucky have whole days_" (Vol. i., pp. 231. 351.).--I can inform your
correspondents P.S. and H.H., that the passage in question is correctly
quoted by the latter at p. 351., and that it is to be found in Dryden's
_Tyrannic Love_.
