Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Minutes of Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Vol. 111: With Other Selected and Abstracted Papers Gentlemen, - On the occasion of a new President first meeting his professional brethren at the commencement of a session it is understood that the initial step should be taken by him, and that he should address the meeting. In the performance of this duty my predecessors have, with one or two exceptions, chosen as their topic branches of engineering which for the most part they had themselves taken up as a speciality, or have given an account of the more prominent works recently executed or in process of execution at the time they held office. One departure from the general precedent was the address of Sir George B. Bruce, who, being President in 1887 the Jubilee year of Her Most Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria naturally chose for his subject the progress of engineering during the previous 50 years. I also propose a departure, and purpose to deal not with past achievements but with future prospects, a subject that must interest all engineers who desire the advancement of the human race, and are hoping to have some share in its accomplishment. The subject in its entirety is too large to be dealt with in an address that is supposed to occupy not much more than an hour, so I propose to notice only, or at any rate chiefly, such works of importance as are likely in the not distant future to be undertaken by British Engineers both at home and abroad, and the principal fields of future employment. If we regard our own country, it may seem to many that we have almost reached finality in respect of the creation of new undertakings of importance, and that little remains to be done by the engineer but to enlarge, improve, and uphold works already constructed.
