 of water and air', 'an Engin which shall move of it.self ' (ivorked by the exjxinnioii of air, heated hif the sun, and therefore a

First Edition of this celebrated woik. ' In the first part occur his enunciations of the theorems of the expansion and 

 condensation of steam, and of the elevation of water bvthe application of heat, which have gained for him in some quarters 

 the honour of being the first inventor of the steam engine ... It is almost certain that Edward Somerset, 2nd Marquis 

 of Worcester [7. v. posf], to whom this honour has also been ascribed, and kter engineers, knew and developed the 

 principles enunciated by de Cans.'— D. X. B.
