 9th Edition, with 8 plates, post 8vo. cl., 2s 1855 



Unlucky was the day when the sciolist was first fired with the idea of harmonising a Science which he did not under- 

 stand with a Book whose purpose he mistook !

 and his Calgarth Park booklabel, 5. 5s 



The only work ever published by this pioneer of steam navigation, the centenary of which was celebrated in New York 

 some time ago. It contains an account of his patent of a double-inclined plane, the object of which was to set 

 aside the use of locks, also plans for the construction of cast-iron aqueducts and bridges. Chapter XVIII treats ' Of Cast 

 Iron Rail Roads.' 



'Son systeme consistait a construire les canaux sur une echelle moins grande, et a substituer aux ecluses des plans 

 inclines sur lesquels des bateaux de petite dimension sont eleves ou descendus, ainsi que leur chargement, d'un niveau 4 

 un autre, au moyen de machines nmes, par la vapeur ou par Feau.' Biogr. Gen. 



Allibone, writing as early as 1858, states : ' This work is very rare. A copy in a late bookseller's catalogue is 

 priced 812.'
