Abstract
THE commemoration in January last of the bicentenary of the birth of James Watt naturally directed attention to the notable part taken in the development and application of the steam engine by his partner Matthew Boulton, and in his “James Watt, Craftsman and Engineer”, Mr. H. W. Dickinson expresses regret that hitherto no separate biography of Boulton has been written (see NATURE of January 25, p. 129).
