This 1939 work gives deserved recognition to the achievements of
the engineer and businessman Matthew Boulton. Boulton's importance
has generally been overshadowed by that of his partner James Watt,
but he was a significant figure in his own right, particularly in
relation to the Soho Foundry and his production of coins and
medals. He belonged to a network of highly significant men of the
period, including Josiah Wedgwood, Erasmus Darwin and Benjamin
Franklin, and was a founding member of the Lunar Society of
Birmingham. An engineer by profession, H. W. Dickinson researched
widely, and published highly readable works on the history of the
steam engine, Watt, and Trevithick, also reissued in this series.
He succeeds in producing a work which appeals to the scientist, the
historian and the general reader, without feeling obliged to
over-simplify the technical details.
