This work is mainly descriptive and analytical, developing and illustrating principles and establishing methods for solving the various problems which arise in connection with the working of the engine. The writer has planned a subsequent treatise, on the Performance and Design of the Engine: this will take up the quantitative and synthetical side of the subject, giving the digested results of a large number of tests, now available in works of refer ence; setting forth methods of engine-testing; and developing, as far as practicable, a logical scheme of design, especially of the thermodynamic design of the engine. This is several times re ferred to, in the text, as Part II. (of a complete treatise).
