Cecil went on to discuss the workings of his engine in considerable detail. The Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society did not record whether Cecil actually ever built such an engine. In any event, Cecil s proposal was the first known instance of an early technologist s attempting to put the special qualities of hydrogen to work. 

If the reader has access to the Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society (11. 145, 1871), A. de Morgan s paper On Infinity, is worth reading in connection with this subject.
