Excerpt from Robert Boyle, Inventor and Philanthropist: A Biographical Sketch

Lives of the Engineers I do not begrudge destructive heroes their fame, but the constructive ones ought not to be forgotten, and there is a heroism in skill and toil belonging to the latter class worthy of as grateful record, less perilous and romantic it may be than that of the other, but not less full of the results of human energy, bravery, and character. The lot of labour is indeed often a dull one, and it is doing a public service to endeavour to lighten it up by records of the struggles and triumphs of our most illustrious workers.
