Excerpt from Life as an Engineer: Its Lights, Shades and Prospects The highly appreciative manner in which my books on Engineering, and also the popular volume, "3, 800 Miles across Canada, " have been received, has encouraged me to prepare another, entitled "Life as an Engineer." My object has been to describe as attractively as possible what has been to a large extent my own experiences in the field of Engineering during the last forty-five years. These embrace apprenticeship in the Works, practice in the drawing office and on the designing staff, and in the various occupations of a Consulting Engineer since 1873. I have specially visited many of the most famous engineering establishments, with the object of obtaining the best and latest information concerning their productions. So that, in the simplest manner, readers of both sexes might be pleasantly introduced to some of the practical methods of carrying out many of the great enterprises which have made travelling on land and sea, and science in general, what they are to-day.
