Specimens of Ancient Oracular and Fighting Eolipiles: with remarks on Dragon, and other fire breathing monster, of mythology and the middle ages, being a supplement to his treatise on hydraulics and mechanics; by Thomas Ewbank. New York. Published by the Author. 1845.

This supplement to the large work on Hydraulics, by Mr. Ewbank, will render that treatise the most learned and perfect one on that branch of science in existence. Mr. Ewbank is a double enthusiast, for he seems to have given as much thought and research to the moral demons and dragons of antiquity as to those of metal, wood and stone.
