Description

Lives of the Engineers (Vols. I & II) by Samuel Smiles celebrates Britain’s pioneering civil engineers as self-made, heroic figures who defined the industrial age. The work chronicles the achievements of early road builders like John Metcalf and monumental designers such as John Smeaton, John Rennie, and Thomas Telford. Smiles champions diligence, perseverance, and practical genius, detailing how these virtues underpinned the creation of the monumental public works that fundamentally transformed the nation.
