Excerpt from The Life of James Watt: With Selections From His Correspondence
Fame is no plant that grows on mortal soil, Nor in the glistering foil Set 011' to the world, nor in broad rumour lies; But lives and spreads aloft by those pure eyes And perfect witness of all-judging Jove; As HE pronounces lastly on each deed, Of so much fame in Heaven expect thy meed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the life of James Watt, one of the central figures in the development of the modern steam engine. At the time of Watt's birth in 1736, steam engines were severely limited in their practicality by the extremely high fuel consumption, due in part to the way their cylinders were cooled during operation. Watt, who since childhood exhibited an uncommon aptitude for the study of mathematics and science, was able to leverage his learning to solve this challenge in his invention of the separate condenser for steam engines. This marked a critical step forward in the development of the steam engine, which rapidly came to be used more widely in critical industries like mining and transportation.
