Bower's patent air compressor leads a summer issue from 1877, followed by practical notes down to how to disinfect a room. Scientific American reported the machinery, chemistry, and small ingenuities of daily life for a readership that wanted all of it. Step back into a week when American invention seemed to have no ceiling.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
