Summary "Harper's New Monthly Magazine, Volume 2, No. 12, May, 1851" by Various is a periodical publication written in the mid-19th century. This magazine features a collection of articles covering various topics, including literature, science, and cultural observations, typical of 19th-century literary magazines. In the opening portion, the content dives into a detailed description of a specific establishment—the Novelty Works in New York—highlighting the machinery and processes involved in constructing marine steam engines of the largest class. The beginning of the magazine focuses on the significance of the Novelty Works as a crucial site of industrial innovation in steam-powered machinery. It describes the establishment's layout and the bustling activity of the workers within as they construct massive components essential for ocean-going vessels. The narrative elaborates on the grandeur of steam engineering and its vital role in global commerce, while emphasizing the industrious spirit of the time, marked by the clash between human ingenuity and the challenges posed by nature, particularly in navigating the treacherous seas. The piece sets a tone of admiration for the men and machines that power these advancements, underlining the transformation of society through industrialization.
