Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Society of Engineers, Established May, 1854, Transactions for 1881: Place of Meeting and Offices; The Society´s Hall, No; 6, Westminster Chambers, Victoria Street, Westminster Gentlemen, On taking the Chair this evening, as the President of the Society of Engineers, my first duty is to thank you, and all my fellow Members, most heartily for your kindness in electing me to this position of honour. I need hardly say how pleasure-able this duty is, nor how highly I esteem the honour you have done me in placing me here. When I joined our Society, twenty-one years ago, I little thought that I should ever occupy the position I now do amongst you. My hope in joining was, that I might be able to prove of some little use to the Society, if opportunity offered; for I always felt that it was one which deserved well of all its Members. My professional engagements and the exigencies of a busy, practical life for years gave me neither time nor opportunity for helping the Society as I could have wished. I still hoped, however, that the day might come when I should be of service to it. In course of time that opportunity arrived. A few years since you did me the honour to elect me on the Council of the Society, in which position I was able to take part with my esteemed colleagues in the work of conducting its affairs. After a while you did me the further honour to elect me one of your Vice-Presidents. This awakened in me the hope that at no distant day I might possibly reach to my present high position. That hope, by your kindness, has now been realised, and I can only once more heartily, and most sincerely, thank you for thus honouring me. Although when I reflect upon the high qualifications of those who have preceded me in this Chair I fear I shall be found wanting in some perhaps important respects, yet I can conscientiously say that I yield to none in the hearty and earnest desire to do my duty and to strive to the utmost to promote the interests of the Society.
