Memoir Of The Life Of Sir Marc Isambard Brunel eBook

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. N undertaking to place on record the leading events in the life of one of the greatest mechanists of the age, I am fully sensible of the difficulties to be over come, and of the delicacy with which many passages in such a life must be approached; and it is only because no one else has sought to secure some of those eeting notices of a personal nature, which time only too soon obliterates, that I have drawn up this Memoir of one to whom England stands largely in debted for her progress in the mechanical arts.
