About this book
Steam Navigation - Plates (rough copy)
Author: John Scott Russell
Year: 1841
John Scott Russell, 1841. On the Nature, Properties, and Applications of Steam, and on Steam Navigation: from the Seventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Edinburgh: Adam and Charles Black. PLATES ONLY. This pdf contains only the plates bound at the end of the book. Note that the reproduction is crude, taken only with a hand-held digital camera. This is a very rough copy. Also, two of the plates were missing from the original (held by National Museum of Australia). Treat this upload as being better than nothing until an institutional library does a proper job. I have uploaded this to be an adjunct to the Google Books digitization of this title (http://www.archive.org/details/onnaturepropert00russgoog) which, as with all Google Books, is missing the plates. NOTE: the plates don't seem to display fully in the browser view, they get cut off. They also seem to be too big for the browser-based pdf viewer (in Chrome at least). The best thing to do to see the plates is to download as a pdf by right-click "save link as".
