Excerpt from An Essay on the Boilers of Steam Engines: Their Calculation, Construction, and Management, With a View to the Saving of Fuel This Essay having already experienced a very favourable reception at the hands of those practically engaged in steam engineering, and therefore best qualified to judge of its merits, I have been induced to make considerable additions and improvements in this edition, with a view to make it more worthy the patronage of the public generally. I am fully aware that the unexpectedly rapid sale which this book has met with, cannot injustice be ascribed to any peculiar quality in the performance itself, but rather to the well-known fact, that complete works from the hands of practical men, on this and some collateral subjects, were very much wanted. This consideration has determined my intention to follow up the general subject in a series of theoretical and practical essays on the production and application of steam as connected with engineering and mechanical purposes, each work to be about the same size and price as the present. The next of the series is intended to be on the Chimneys of steam engines, and will include rules for the proper construction and arrangement of the flues and furnaces of steam boilers generally, so as to insure a good draught.
