Excerpt from The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive: 1803 to 1898 As it is proposed to deal with the railway locomotive only, it is not necessary to make more than a passing reference to the more or less crude proposals of Sir Isaac Newton, the Mar quess of Worcester, Savery, Dr. Robinson, Leupold, and other writers and scientists, who hinted at the possibility of steam loco motion. Nor does the writer propose to discuss the alleged use of railways and steam locomotives in Germany at a date prior to their general introduction into England. The claims of Cugnot, symington, Evans, 'murdoch, and others as builders or designers of actual or model steam road locomotives will also be passed without discussion. We take this opportunity of expressing our sincere thanks to the locomotive superintendents of British railways, who have all been so willing to assist the author, not only in supplying accurate data concerning the locomotives of their own design, but also'for so kindly revising the portions of the volume that relate to the loco motive history of the particular railway with which each one of these gentlemen is connected.
