Excerpt from The New Tay Bridge: A Course of Lectures Delivered at the Royal School of Military Engineering, at Chatham November 1888
I commenced the Lectures with a short historical sketch of Metal Bridge Design ing, because, being a subject in which both my grandfather, the late Professor Barlow, and my father, have made many investigations, I am able to give information which I thought might be of interest to my audience, and for the same reason I retain it now.
