Excerpt from Who Invented the Screw Propeller?: Were the Patented Propellers of Francis Pettit Smith in Every Respect Direct Plagiarisms? "To Engineers it has long been known that F. P. Smith has been the author and establisher of the art of Screw-propulsion - at all events in this country; and Engineers are certainly as well qualified to form a just opinion on this subject as any other class of the community, and have as little temptation to strain their real convictions. Other Screw patentees there are, who, like Indian mercenaries, have lain by until the battle was fought by Smith and Ericsson, and have then come forward to claim the fruits of victory; and Courts of Law, bewildered by questions they did not understand, have permitted claims to be entertained, which ought to have been at once disallowed. But whatever decrees may be elsewhere pronounced, the judgment of the public is pronounced already, and will be ratified by posterity. And when the people of future times inquire in what way, or by whose instrumentality, the art of propelling vessels by a screw was first established, they will learn that this important amelioration was accomplished, not by any eminent Engineer or learned Academician, but by a farmer at Hendon, called, like another Cincinnatus, from the plough, to advance the interests of his country. Against that time, other names, at present far more imposing, will have faded from the recollections of man kind, but the name of the originator of a new art lives as long as the art itself, and gathers new lustre by the lapse of years." - Treatise on the Screw Propeller, by John Bourne, C.E., p. 93. The object of the present Publication is to prove that the great merit heretofore ascribed to Francis Pettit Smith had never any foundation in fact.
