Riassunto

Excerpt from Memorials: Of the Lineage, Early Life, Education, and Development of the Genius of James Watt

It is from these somewhat voluminous materials that the present selection has been made, - such a selection as has been deemed neces sary to a clear exposition of the subject. An attempt has been made to arrange and embody, in a consecutive form, such portions of the facts acquired as it has been conceived might be acceptable to the general reader. At the same time, it is of some consequence that it should be understood, that this has been done, not with any idea of presenting a full Biography or Life of the philosopher whose history occupies the principal share of attention throughout the volume but rather, of rendering more available for reference an aggregate of data, which, indirectly or more immediately bearing upon the development of his genius, might be found contributive to the illustration of the character, As A whole, Of this wonderful man.

As some statement, however, in regard to the nature of the work, more definite than that which has just been afforded, may still be desired, advantage will be taken of a few introductory paragraphs to give a succinct account of the special circumstances in which it had its origin - an account which will sufficiently indicate its character and objects, and afford, it is hoped, what apology may be necessary for any peculiarity of aspect which it may be found to present.
