Letter from Sir C. Purcell Taylor, London to Robert Young

Would have been pleased if his ‘45 years advocacy’ of Timothy Hackworth had been mentioned; mistakes in book; anxious to see drawings; has been writing a history of William Lymington; criticises Institute of Mechanical Engineers for charging him 'that shows how much the name of the inventor of the first usable steam boat is esteemed by the people who live on his inventions'.
