After his patent had expired, and the Engine had become public property, the various makers, it seems, did not at first sufficiently value this useful instrument for we find Farey, in his work on Steam, complaining that Steam-engines had rather retrograded from neglecting it. However that may be, such is not the case now; for every engine maker is careful to apply it, as the best means of testing the working condition of his engine; yet even now there are many classes of people connected with the Steam engine, such as officers commanding steam-vessels and en gineers, to whom a fuller description of the instrument.
