Excerpt from Ericsson's Caloric Engine: Articles Descriptive of the Caloric Ship Ericsson, and of Her Trial Excursion of January 12th, 1853, Taken From the Daily Journals of the City of New York
No accurate or reliable description of the Ericsson and her engine has been published before this morning; none which could give the reader a just idea of the plan or working of the engine. Such could only be pre pared by the aid of the inventor himself, and the minute account which we lay before our readers this morning is made up from information communicated to us by Captain ericsson himself, and is published with the sanction of his authority.
