Discusses a portable steam engine on wheels for agricultural purposes displayed at the Dublin Agricultural Show. Observes that the sums of money that were once awarded to servants for their service will now be 'transferred to the steam engine'. Wonders where landlords are going to find a steam engine that will work 'half so long' as a human. |
