"A New Century of Inventions" by James White is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The work presents a collection of designs and descriptions for one hundred machines that pertain to various aspects of arts, manufacturing, and domestic life. Each invention aims to offer practical applications and insights that could significantly enhance mechanical efficiency and utility for society. The opening of the book begins with the author reflecting on his long interest in mechanical subjects and his desire to document and share his inventions. White introduces the reader to the theme of the work: providing practical mechanical solutions rather than theoretical discussions. He shares anecdotes from his childhood about his early experimentation with simple machines, such as water-wheels and mouse traps, setting a personal tone and establishing his lifelong passion for engineering.
