Summary "The Evolution of the Steam Locomotive (1803 to 1898)" by George Augustus Nokes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the significant advancements and transformations in steam locomotive technology between its inception in the early 19th century and the end of the 19th century. It aims to document the key developments, notable inventors, and the impact of locomotives on the railway system while emphasizing accuracy in its historical narrative. The opening of the book presents a preface that establishes the author's intention to provide a thorough and factual account of steam locomotive evolution, distancing it from personal opinions. Nokes expresses gratitude to various locomotive superintendents for their contributions and highlights the growing public interest in locomotive history. He outlines the structure and content of the book, ensuring a focus on factual accuracy and the inclusion of unique illustrations.
