Excerpt from Development of the Locomotive Engine
I give this book of history to the world with the humble hope that it may prove as free from mistakes as the most care fully written historical books have been, and that it may be found of interest to many who are engaged in railroad Opera tions, or who may be interested in the appliances which have been used so successfully in the development of this great country. Whatever mav be the popular estimate of the work, however, noth ing can ever deprive me of the pleasant recollection of the many cheering words of encouragement and help connected with its preparation that have come from almost every part of the world.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
