Excerpt from Conquests of Engineering
The iron and steel that we use so often in the day? Does he not see that we are clothed and fed? - for he it is who spins and weaves cloth, and he it is who builds ships, harbours, railways, canals, and other works, so that the corn that makes our bread Shall reach us quickly and cheaply. Truly, when we begin to talk of the conquests of engineering, we mean the conquests of civilization.
