Excerpt from Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 1 Of such undertakings it may probably be said, without any imputation of; national vanity, England offers the most splen did examples, though even among us they are of recent growth. During a long period of our history, men's minds were either wholly turned away from pursuits of this kind, or at best, their activity in them was paralysed, by the excitement and uncertainty that could not but prevail when a throne was the object of struggle, and the shock of the contests so engendered was too deeply felt by the indust-ryof the country to be recovered from in the short intervals that sometimes happened between the outbreakings of intestine war. But better times came round -domestic quiet was established, and as the passions that had raged so fiercely gradually subsided, the people's energies no longer spending themselves in civil strife, took another and more useful direction, and the genius of commercial enterprise was called into, new life.

Excerpt from Transactions of the Institution of Civil Engineers, 1889, Vol. 3: Part I I am acquainted with no other recorded trial of the whole quantity of steam passing through Watt's double engine than that made by himself and Rennie, at the Albion Mills I have also extracted these particulars, and tabulated them as affording a specimen of that which was considered by Watt himself as the full performance of his rotative engine. The duty done by the engine at the Albion Mills, as estimated by the quantity of steam used, has probably not been exceeded by any one of thesame unexpansive kind since constructed by Watt, or other makers, though in a few instances less coal may have been consumed through more skilful management, andthe use of better boilers.
