Title continues = Part I: - On the Effects of Heat, Means of Measuring it, Fuel, etc. Part II: - On Heating Mills, Dwelling-Houses, and Public Buildings, by Steam. Part III: - On drying and heating by steam. Buchanan was a Scottish working engineer in mills who had a practical and theoretical understanding of steam technology. The late 18th century saw pioneering work in steam heating by figures such as James Watt, who installed a system in his own office around 1784. The first steam-based heating and drying systems were gradually developed in Britain for use in mills and factories in the 1790s. Buchanan's essays offered a comprehensive, practical, and technical account of these early industrial applications of steam power.
