Book excerpt: The addresses made to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and theInstitution of Civil Engineers, at the opening meetings of thesession--1851, contained obituary notices of Robert Stevenson. Thelate Alan Stevenson, his eldest son, also wrote a short Memoir of hisfather, which was printed for private circulation.But Robert Stevenson's long practice as a Civil Engineer--theimportant works he executed--and the valuable contributions he made toEngineering and Scientific literature, seem to me to require a fullernotice of his life than has hitherto been given.This has been attempted in the following Memoir, which will be foundto consist of extracts from Mr. Stevenson's Professional Reports--ofnotes from his Diary--and of communications to Scientific Journals andSocieties, between the years 1798 and 1843, when he retired from activepractice.These papers embrace a wide field of Engineering, includingLighthouses, Harbours, Rivers, Roads, Railways, Ferries, Bridges, andother cognate subjects.Some of them describe Engineering practice which is now obsolete, butnot on that account, I think, uninteresting to such modern Engineers ashave regard for the antiquities of their Profession.Some of them, I am aware, can only be appreciated by those who arespecially interested in the city of Edinburgh.All of them will, I venture to think, be found worthy of preservationas interesting Engineering records of an era that has passed away. Itformed no part of my duty to criticise them, in the light of modernEngineering, and, unaltered in form of expression or statement ofopinion, they are now reproduced as they came from my father's pen.
