Excerpt from The Steam Engine for Practical Men: Containing a Theoretical Investigation of the Various Rules Given in the Work, and Several Useful Tables
The First Part does not contain a single formula; the practical man will here find nothing but rules and their immediate application, an example, or more, being always given after each rule.
The Second Part has been exclusively devoted to the theoretical investigation of the rules given in the First Part.
And in the Appendix we have mixed both theory and practice, on subjects of minor importance.
