This is an exact reprint of “A Century of Inventions,†originally written by Edward Somerset, the Marquis of Worcester, in 1663. The book presents one hundred descriptions of ingenious and novel inventions conceived by the Marquis. While not all inventions were fully realized during his lifetime, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a visionary inventor during the 17th century. The inventions range from mechanical devices and signaling systems to water pumps and weaponry.
This reprint offers a valuable historical record of early technological thought and demonstrates the Marquis of Worcester’s contributions to the history of science and technology. Readers interested in the history of inventions, early engineering, and the scientific ideas of the 17th century will find this book a compelling and insightful resource.
