A rare book on a most absorbing subject

This book describes over a hundred and thirty inventions of this most creative period with sections dealing separately with iron and steel, steam power, textiles, chemistry, scientific instruments, electrical machines, pottery, printing, agriculture, transport and other branches of technology. Each invention is illustrated either by a line drawing or a photograph with many drawings reproduced from Rees Cyclopaedia, the first technical encyclopaedia.
