AN ESSAY ON WATER, 



CONSIDERED AS A MOVING POWER ACTING UPON MACHINERY, 



In this efsay it is not intended to engage in deep 

 mathematical discufsions, but merely to give some 

 general notions concerning the most effectual way of 

 applying water to machinery, in different circum- 

 stances, that as little as pofsible of its effect, as a 

 moving power, may be lost ; — an investigation pe-

 part of the effect of that useful element, as a moving
