Hornblower & Maberly: For Infrignement on Mr. Watt's Patent for the Improvement on the Steam Engine By Joseph Bramah, engineer. London. John Stockdale. 1797. 90 pages. None available. Bramah wrote a book on locks in 1785 and patented several items in the late 1700s. Watt's patent on the steam engine was in 1769. Hornblower invented a compound steam engine in 1781, but it was judged to be an infringement on Watt's patent, so he was not able to pursue it, even though it was more efficient and more powerful than Watt's. This short book is a detailed explanation of why Hornblower's work is original and why the judgement against him should be reconsidered. ** A Reply to the Monthly Reviewers; and some letters between them and the Author By A Suffolk Freeholder.
