An Historical and Descriptive Account of the Steam Engine: Comprising a General View of the Various Modes of Employing Elastic Vapour as a Prime Mover in Mechanics - Cambridge Library Collection - Technology

Published in 1822, this is an early overview of the history of the steam engine, although very little is known about the author. Detailed and illustrated descriptions of various early engines are included. Comparing their characteristics and advantages, the author is keen to act as evangelist for the new technology.
