Excerpt: ...Alexander Eoss was united with him as co-engineer, to carry out on the spot all that very important part of the work which the engineer-in-chief could not personally superintend. The positions and mutual relations of the two engineers were accurately denned in the deed of contract made September 29, 1853, between the Grand Trunk Eailway Company of Canada, of the one part, and William Jackson, of Birkenhead, and Samuel Morton Peto, Thomas Brassey, and Edward Ladd Betts, all of London, in England, contractors, of the other part. ' The contractors, ' runs the language of the deed, ' will make, build, and construct the said tubular bridge over the said River St. Lawrence, at or near Montreal, according to the plans, sections, and specifications prepared and drawn by Eobert Stephenson, of London, aforesaid, Civil Engineer, M.P., and Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, of Montreal, C.E.' The deed then requires: ' The Bridge when completed to be in perfect repair, and of the best and most substantial character, and to be approved of by the said Eobert Stephenson.' It further provides, ' that in case of the death, refusal, or inability to act of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, another engineer shall from time to time be appointed by the said Eobert Stephenson, in place of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss, and who shall have all the powers of the said Alexander M'Kenzie Eoss. And in the event of the death, or refusal, or inability of the said Eobert Stephenson, then all things then remaining to be done by the said Eobert Stephenson shall be done by an eminent civil engineer, to be appointed by the president for the time being of the Institution of Civil Engineers in England, upon the requisition of the parties hereto, or either of them.'

CHAPTER V STUDENT DAYS--1867-73 "Light foot, and tight foot, And green grass spread, Early in the morning, But hope is on ahead." R. L. S. The time had come for the boy to leave school, and for his education to be shaped in some conformity with the profession supposed to lie before him. What this would be was never for a moment in doubt. Father and sons, the Stevensons were civil engineers, and to the grandsons naturally, in course of time, the business would be transferred. The family capacity for the work, though undeniable, was very elusive, consisting chiefly of a sort of instinct for dealing with the forces of nature, and seldom manifested clearly till called forth in actual practice. The latest recruit had certainly shown no conspicuous powers at any of his schools, but to such a criterion no one could have attached less value than his father. That he did possess the family gift was proved before he left the profession; but even had he never written his paper "On a New Form of Intermittent Light," no one could reasonably have condemned on his behalf the choice of this career. Accordingly, the next three and a half years were devoted to his preparation for this employment. He spent the winter and sometimes the summer sessions at the University of Edinburgh working for a Science degree, and saw something of the practical work of engineering during the other summer months. For the first two years he attended the Latin class, Greek being abandoned as hopeless after the first session; to Natural Philosophy he was constant, so far as his constancy in such matters ever went; Mathematics then replaced Greek, and Civil Engineering took the room of Latin. But all this was none of his real education. Although he remembered that "the spinning...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Sketch of the Late Robert Stevenson: Civil Engineer Robert Stevenson was born at Glasgow on the 8th June 1772, and died at Edinburgh on the 12th July 1850, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. His father, Alan Stevenson, was a partner in a West India House in Glasgow, and died in the island of St Christopher, while on a visit to his brother, who managed the business abroad. His only son Robert, the subject of this memoir, was then an infant, and, with his mother, was ultimately left in circumstances of the greatest difficulty; for the same epidemic fever which deprived him of his father carried off his uncle also, at a time when his loss operated most disadvantageously on the business which he had superintended, and very many years elapsed before any funds in which my father had an interest were realised.
