Excerpt from The Development of the Philosophy of the Steam-Engine: An Historical Sketch Practically available, form. Its final shape must probably be given it by some such master of math ematical and physical science as was Rankine, or such as was Clausius but the main principles and the essential facts of a complete theory are unques tionably now well determined and well recognized by the most advanced thinkers and most intelligent practitioners, and are in various ways presented by the recognized authorities among later writers.

It is always the commercial as pect of the case that most concerns him.
