Report, as a whole, most valuable.
Considered as a whole the Report of the Commissioners
is one of the ablest documents I have
ever examined, and, from the mass of valuable evidence
they have taken, and the care with which it
has been analysed, most of their recommendations
are eminently qualified to effect the great object in
view—to reduce to the lowest possible extent the
loss of life and property at sea.
