A Short Treatise on the Application of Steam James Rumsey

A short treatise on the application of steam whereby is clearly shewn, from actual experiments, that steam may be applied to propel boats or vessels of any burthen against rapid currents with great velocity. The same princples are also introduced with effect. This book, "A short treatise on the application of steam", by James Rumsey, is a replication of a book originally published before 1788. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible.
