Excerpt from A Catechism of the Steam Engine in Its Various Applications to Mines, Mills, Steam Navigation, Railways, and Agriculture: With Practical Instructions for the Manufacture and Management of Engines of Every Class The present work is not intended as a substitute for the quarto Treatise on the Steam Engine, which I lately published, but is rather to be regarded as an introduction and in some measure also as a supplement to that work. Notwithstanding the existence, therefore, of the larger Treatise, it appeared to me that a work upon the steam engine, which in a moderate compass should give an outline of the whole subject in its practical aspect, would still be of much utility. There are no doubt many compendiums already existing which profess to accomplish this object, but I have not met with any which were calculated to satisfy even the most moderate expectations.
