Inman, Herbert Escott. Did of Didn’t-think: a fairy story for boys and girls; il. by W. Tayler. †$1. Warne.
The “didn’t-thinks” of the young hero of this tale result in such things as his wiping the fluff from a butterfly’s wings, locking the kitten in the coal bin, and melting the nose of his sister’s doll. He is visited by the fairy queen who punishes him by taking him to the land of Didn’t-think to find the Did.

“The book begins with the application of thermodynamics to the compression of air under various circumstances.... The second chapter is concerned with experiments on compressors.” (Nation.) The remainder of the book is concerned with descriptions of various valves, blowers, and compressors.
“While the book contains no distinctly new matter, it is distinctly valuable because of the scarcity of literature dealing with this subject.” Amasa Trowbridge.
