Excerpt from The Civil Engineer and Architect's Journal, Scientific and Railway Gazette, 1841, Vol. 4

Directing our attention to engineering we find the converse of what we have observed with regard to architecture, for many noble works have been completed, while the continuance of legislative restrictions threatens to check the progress of every department of civil engineering. It may be said, without any important exceptions, that neither for railways, canals or harbours has any act been passed, and mechanical engineering alone remains unscathed. The government instead of affording relief to engineering, brought forward measures which must still further have depressed it, had they not been defeated in the attempt.

In the Colonies we have to notice the increased employment of engineers, particularly in New Zealand. The Bengal Government have at last published a report on the public works, executed by them, and it appears that the other Indian governments have of late been stimulated to carry on extensive improvements of the canals and roads of India.
