Excerpt from The Tower Bridge: A Lecture
This Lecture was composed in 1893 for an audience consisting in part of persons well acquainted with engineering matters, but more largely of those who took an interest in the Tower Bridge as members of the general public. It is not to be regarded as being such a professional description of the Bridge as would be suitable to a body of experts; but it may be of interest to a considerable number of persons who have seen the Bridge in its various stages of progress, or who wish to form a general conception of its design and of the various considerations which led up to its inception and determined its mode of execution.
