This is a rather hard to find original book printed in 1899 entitled \"Small Engines and Boilers\" A manual of concise and specific directions for the construction of small steam engines and boilers of modern types from 5 horsepower down to model sizes for amateurs and others interested in such work. It is illustrated by 30 full page working dimensioned drawings. It is in excellent condition for being 115 years old and is easy to read and use. It surely would be neat to produce an engine like they show in the book! It measures about 5 5/8 x 8 1/8 inches and has 108 pages plus about 30 pages of other Van Nostrand books in the back. It would be a fine addition to your early steam engine paper collection. The pictures tell the story. It would be tough to find a nicer one! You\'ll like it. Good Luck.
