The theory of the steam engine;  showing  the inaccuracy of the methods in use for calculating the effects or the proportions of steam-engines, and supplying a series of practical formulae to determine the velocity of any engine with a given load, the load for a stated velocity, the evaporation for desired effects, the horse-power, the useful effect for a given consumption of water or fuel, the load, expansion, and counterweight fit for the production of the maximum useful effect, etc. with an appendix, containing concise rules for persons not familiar with algebraic signs, and intended to render the use of the formulae contained in the work perfectly clear and easy
