Riassunto

Excerpt from Development of the Locomotive Engine: A History of the Growth of the Locomotive From Its Most Elementary Form, Showing the Gradual Steps Made Toward the Developed Engine, With Biographical Sketches of the Eminent Engineers and Inventors Who Nursed It on Its Way to the Perfected Form of to-Day

I give this book of history to the world with the humble hope that it may prove as free from mistakes as the most care fully written historical books have been, and that it may be found of interest to many who are engaged in railroad Opera tions, or who may be interested in the appliances which have been used so successfully in the development of this great country. Whatever mav be the popular estimate of the work, however, noth ing can ever deprive me of the pleasant recollection of the many cheering words of encouragement and help connected with its preparation that have come from almost every part of the world.
