About this book
Question and answer carries the reader from the basic workings of the steam engine to the making and management of engines of every class in John Bourne's handbook. His full title lists the engine's uses in mines, mills, steam ships, railways and farming. The preface to the fourth edition explains that Bourne, busy building steam vessels, took years to revise it, adding new chapters, woodcuts and recent improvements. He begins with a plain description meant for a young lad who knows nothing of the subject and builds toward what a working engineer needs.
