* Rankine was one of the little group of thinkeis to whom, after the wondrous Sadi Carnot, the world is indebted for 

 the pure science of modern thermodynamics. But his services to applied science were relatively even greater. By his 

 admirable teaching, his excellent text-books, and his original memoirs, he has done more than any other man of recent 

 times for the advancement of British Scientific Engineering.'— Pro/. Tait.
