A plan and descripti[on] of Mr. John Stewart'[s] fire engine mill being a machine to apply the power of fire engines to all kinds of mills that require much force, but is most profitable to grind sugar canes; as one of them, with a Cylinder of Thirty Inches Diameter, is proved will do as much as four Cattle Mills, that employ from 160 to 200 Steers; and the Trash of the Canes, that works the Fire Engine, boils the great Coppers at the same Time, without any additional Expence, or Consumption of Fuel. And A Plan and Description of the Application of a Fire Engine to work Saws, that will be next most profitable to saw Timber, as the Slabs, or Branches of the Trees sawed, will supply Fuel without Expence, particularly in North America, as they may be set in the most convenient Situation for Timber and Navigation, &c.
