Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Siemens Grounds on which the Biographies Of Engineers may claim Attention The Interest of such Biographies lies not only in the way a man has done his Work, but largely in the nature of the Work itself What Engineering means Derivation of the Word - Authoritative Description by the Institution of Civil Engineers - Magnitude and Importance of the Objects embraced in the Profession - Necessity of Division of Labour - Special Branches taken up by different Practitioners - General Nature of the Work to which Sir William Siemens devoted his Life. IN adding another Biography of an eminent Engineer to the many already existing, it may not be out of place to state briefly the grounds on which it is hoped that such a book may have a claim to attention. The interest of the Life of an Engineer will be found to lie, not only in the personal character and doings of the individual, but also, to a large extent, in the nature of his occupations. This is an important peculiarity in engineer ing biography which must always be borne in mind in estimating its value.
