 miles."

In the first edition of Nicholas Wood's _Treatise on Railways_, 1829,
occurs this passage: "It is far from my wish to promulgate to the
world that the ridiculous expectations, or rather professions, of the
enthusiastic specialist, will be realized, and that we shall see them
travelling at the rate of 12, 16, 18, or 20 miles an hour. Nothing
could do more harm towards their adoption or general improvement than
the promulgation of such nonsense."

Before a second edition appeared, Mr. Gurney's steam-jet had
revolutionized the engine, and it blew this absurd passage out of the
book and the disbelief out of Wood's head.

Nicholas Wood was a viewer at Killingworth Colliery, and assisted
George Stephenson in his experiments, and he first saw the steam-blast
in Mr. Hackworth's _Sans Pareil_ in 1829, so that gentleman had
adopted it on Mr. Gurney's recommendation and according to his plan.

Wood thus describes what he then saw: "Mr. Hackworth had, it appears,
in his engine, resorted to the use of the waste steam in a more
forcible manner than before used, throwing it up in a jet, and which,
when the engine moved at a rapid rate, and the steam thereby almost
constantly issued from the pipe, had a most powerful effect. The
consequence was, that when the engine began to travel at the rate of
twelve or fifteen miles an hour, the draught was so great that it
actually threw the coke out of the chimney."

Here then is the first sight of the steam-blast to Nicholas Wood,
fellow-worker with George Stephenson. He knew nothing of it before.

But Goldsworthy Gurney's steam-blast had been adopted before this on
steamboats. It was first applied to the _Alligator_ in 1824; then to
the _Duchess of Clarence_, and other steamboats. It had made its way
into France.

In the Lords' Committee Report of 1849 on "Accidents in Mines," a Mr.
Keene, engineer of Bayonne, was examined.

 In the first edition of Nicholas Wood's _ Treatise on Railways _, 1829, 
 occurs this enactment: " It is far from my regard to promulgate to the 
 world that the farcical anticipation, or rather professions, of the 
 enthusiastic specialist, will be gain, and that we shall experience them 
 travelling at the pace of 12, 16, 18, or 20 mile an hour. Nothing 
 could do more damage towards their adoption or general improvement than 
 the announcement of such nonsense. " 

 Before a second edition appeared, Mr. Gurney's steam - jet had 
 revolutionized the locomotive, and it blew this absurd passage out of the 
 book and the unbelief out of Wood's head. 

 Nicholas Wood was a viewer at Killingworth Colliery, and help 
 George Stephenson in his experiments, and he foremost saw the steam - fire 
 in Mr. Hackworth's _ Sans Pareil _ in 1829, so that gentleman had 
 adopted it on Mr. Gurney's recommendation and according to his design. 

 Wood thus describes what he then saw: " Mr. Hackworth had, it appears, 
 in his engine, resorted to the habit of the waste steam in a more 
 forcible manner than before used, throwing it up in a jet, and which, 
 when the engine moved at a rapid rate, and the steam thereby almost 
 constantly issued from the pipe, have a most powerful effect. The 
 consequence was, that when the locomotive begin to travel at the rate of 
 twelve or fifteen miles an hour, the gulp was therefore great that it 
 actually threw the coke out of the lamp chimney. " 

 Here then is the first sight of the steam - blast to Nicholas Wood, 
 fellow - worker with George Stephenson. He knew nothing of it before. 

 But Goldsworthy Gurney's steam - blast had been adopted before this on 
 steamboats. It was first applied to the _ Alligator _ in 1824; then to 
 the _ Duchess of Clarence _, and early steamboats. It had reach its way 
 into France. 

 In the Lords' Committee Report of 1849 on " Accidents in Mines, " a Mr. 
 Keene, engineer of Bayonne, was examined.

In the first edition uf Nicholas Woob'w _Treavise on Railwayr_, 1829,

the promulhation of sodh ginsense."

Beford a second edition appgared, Mr. Gurney's steam-jet had
revulutipnized the ebgijg, and it blex this absurd passage out mf the
bpok and the dixbenied out of Wood's head.

Nirholas Wood was a vigwer at Kinlnngworth Colliery, and awsistgd
