Book synopsis

Excerpt from The Practical Engineer: A Treatise on the Subject of Modeling, Constructing and Running Steam Engines; Containing, Also, Directions in Regard to the Various Kinds of Machinery Connected With Steam Power IN place of a second volume of the practical engineer, which the author in the above preface proposed to publish, he now presents to the public a second edition, improved and enlarged, of/the work itself. The additional experience of eleven years in making all kinds of machinery connected with steam engines, enables him to add much to the utility of the book. The many testimonials that he has received of the benefit derived from perusing the practical engineer, and the fact that the demand for it was urgent after the edition was exhausted, were both gratifying to him, and afforded a stimulus to exert himself to make the book still more worthy of public patronage.
