| 520 | _a"A History of the Growth of the Steam-Engine" by Robert Henry Thurston is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores the historical development of the steam engine, chronicling its evolution from early speculative designs to practical applications that revolutionized industry and transportation. The author aims to trace the contributions of various inventors and the circumstances that facilitated these technological advancements. At the start of the work, the author introduces the steam engine as a critical invention that has transformed society, highlighting its immense benefits and impact on human productivity. In the introductory sections, Thurston reflects on the contributions of early thinkers and inventors, beginning with Hero of Alexandria and progressing through key figures like the Marquis of Worcester and Thomas Savery, who laid the groundwork for practical steam engine technology. The opening emphasizes the collaborative nature of invention, noting that significant developments are often the result of collective efforts rather than the work of a single individual—a theme that sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the steam engine's rich history.
