Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from James Brindley and the Early Engineers The present book is for the most part a reproduction, in a cheaper and more compact form, of the Life of James Brindley originally published in the ´ives of the Engineers.´ It is offered to the public as a companion volume to the ´Story of the Life of George Stephenson,´ - the characters and achievements of the two men being in many respects alike, the one having accomplished for Canals in England what the other did for Railways. The volume also includes memoirs of the earlier engineers, more particularly Sir Cornelius Vermuyden, Sir Hugh Myddelton, and Captain Perry; whose works of drainage, water supply, and embankment, were amongst the wonders of their time. The memoir of Pierre-Paul Riquet - by some styled "The French Brindley" - constructor of the Grand Canal of Languedoc, is appended, as prepared for the French edition of ´Self-Help.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
