Excerpt from Achievements in Engineering: During the Last Half Century My endeavour in this book has been to describe briefly some of the principal engineering works carried out, at I home and abroad, within the last fifty years, avoiding? technical phraseology as far as possible, so that the descriptions may be perfectly intelligible to the general reader, and, at the same time, introducing various details S.and comparisons which may interest engineers as well As the chief engineering triumphs have been accomplished in the last half century, there has been no lack of materials; and some branches of engineering have necessarily been passed over, as indicated in the concluding remarks at the end of the book. I trust, however, that an adequate variety of engineering works of great magnitude, difficulty, and importance have been described, to justify the view that engineers, in directing the forces of nature to the use and convenience of man, are amongst the greatest benefactors of mankind.
