	Leibniz, Papin and the Steam Engine
		According to the Royal Society myth, this sort of reasoning about the steam engine was not supposed to have occurred until about 1769, when James Watt recognized the problem of loss of force because of superfluous cooling of the steam, and invented a separate condenser.
		The massive Royal Society attack against Leibniz on the false charge of plagiarism of the Calculus from Newton, which erupted in 1711, was a politically-motivated slander campaign designed to destroy Leibniz's influence in England.
		Newcomen's engine was simply a scaled up atmospheric steam pump that was based completely on a combination of two of Papin's earlier ideas:(1) the use of steam to create a vacuum and drive a piston (1690); (2) the use of a lever mechanism to transmit power from one pump to another (1687).

	Introduction
		It is particularly appropriate that the Newcomen society should begin its series of extra publications with a work so closely connected with the man from who the Society takes its name.
		The account of the manner in which Newcomen was led to direct his attention to the problem of raising water from mines--that is to say he often visited the mines in the capacity of a dealer in iron tools--is interesting and likely to be correct.
		Triewald makes the definite statement that Newcomen and Calley did join Savery to form a company; Triewald was in a position to be fully acquainted with the facts, so the statement carries some weight and it is consoling to think that Newcomen did have some share in the pecuniary rewards of his invention.
