Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Salomon de Caus: Ou la Decouverte de la Vapeur
Quel etait ce Salomon de Caus que M. Arago (1) ne balance pas a regarder comme le premier qui ait donne la demonstration positive dela force de la vapeur d'eau, et mis sur la voie des applications qu'on en pourrait faire? C'etait un Normand ne a Dieppe ou dans les environs de cette ville; mais un Normand peu connu et dont la biographie est fort incomplete. Depuis la seconde edition de ses Forces mouvantes, il disparait, et nul ne sait l'epoque de sa mort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
