Excerpt from Opinions of the Press on the Fairlie Engine: Being a Series of Articles Reprinted From the Leading Scientific and Other Journals Extracted from a work on Railways and Locomotive Engines by Lewis Gordon, Civil Engineer, late Regius Professor of Civil Engineering and Mechanics in the University of Glasgow. A. Careful study of the drawings of Fairlie's engines, published from time to time in Engineering, has led me to this conviction, and induced me to inquire into the history of the Progress, an engine of 40 tons weight, constructed by Messrs. Cross in 1865 on Mr. Fairlie's designs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
