His condensor made steam power the driving force of the nineteenth century and he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the Industrial Revolution.

Today in 1644 a Scottish army under command of the Earl of Leven crossed the river Tweed into England. It remained in England for three years, playing an important part in the Civil War fighting for the Parliamentarians.
