Lives of Boulton and Watt

James Watt transformed steam engine technology by inventing the condensing engine. He collaborated with Matthew Boulton to form a engineering firm in 1773, which went on to monopolise production of steam engines in England. This book examines the role they played in the history of invention and development of steam engine.

Samuel Smiles (1812-1904) studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh before becoming a campaigner for Parliamentary reform and a journalist. He was secretary of the Leeds Parliamentary Reform Association and editor of the Leeds Times before becoming secretary of Leeds & Thirsk Railway and, later, of the South Eastern Railway. He wrote biographies about a number of engineers, including George Stephenson and Thomas Telford.
