One of the writers of the inspired Book says, "Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; and they have sought out many inventions."

The steam-engine is most decidedly an engine of peace, and peace and tranquility will be the result of its invention.

In giving this small volume to our readers, we hope its reasoning may be comprehended and be a source of profit to all.
