The Steam Engine; Its Workings, Its Power, and Its Transformations . A Victorian survey of the machine that drove industry, charting its evolution from simple pumps to world-changing engines. By Dionysius Lardner. A complete article printed in 1855.

Explains the operation and uses of the steam engine, central to 19th-century progress. 48 Pages. Illustrated with wood engravings. Some foxing throughout. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Supplied without a title page. This particular trial report has been removed from a volume of Lardner's Museum of Science & Art and is now preserved in a modern loose card cover - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery.
