Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Boiler Construction: A Manual of Instruction and Useful Information for Practical Men

About the year 1881 I was requested by a number of mechanics to give them some practical information about the strength and construction of steam boilers. After some hesitation I agreed to do so, in order to help a body of men whose Opportunities for study were limited, and whose lack of knowledge was more their' misfortune than their fault. I accordingly prepared a series of papers, which were first read before the Engineering Association of New South Wales and afterwards published in book form for distribution amongst those interested.
