1828 Definition

STEERAGE, n.

1. The act or practice of directing and governing in a course; as the steerage of a ship.

[In this sense, I believe the word is now little used.]

2. In seamens language, the effort of a helm, or its effect on the ship.

3. In a ship, an apartment forward of the great cabin, from which it is separated by a bulk-head or partition, or an apartment in the fore part of a ship for passengers. In ships of war it serves as a hall or antichamber to the great cabin.

4. The part of a ship where the tiller traverses.

5. Direction; regulation.

He that hath the steerage of my course. [Little used.]

6. Regulation or management.

You raise the honor of the peerage, proud to attend you at the steerage.

7. That by which a course is directed.

Here he hung on high the steerage of his wings---

[Steerage, in the general sense of direction or management, is in popular use, but by no means an elegant word. It is said, a young man when he sets out in life, makes bad steerage; but no good writer would introduce the word into elegant writing.]

Noah Says...
The brief exposition of the constitution of the United States, will unfold to young persons the principles of republican government; and it is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.
