Motor, as it is your request, we'll as a duty
owe my country. The facts are the following, as
near as now recollect:
l ARRIVED at Cincinnati on the Sth of October,
1851, and on the following day called to Pro-
lessor Salomon's New Mechanical Motor, of which
had read accounts in the public papers I was
DESTROYS to see the engine, from the fact that had
for some time previous been studying to make the

was uniform and perfect, and of sufficient power

machinery of the chop, and appeared to be equal to
The whole length of this engine is about twelve or
fifteen feet, and ! suppose its weight might be
about i've or six tons. The furnace is small
