(Stapleton, History of Civil Engineering p101; Gibb, Story of Telford p329; Singer History of Technology V4p546). Telford's beneficial influence is most alive today through his many surviving works, modern contract procedures, and the Institution of Civil Engineers as a forum of engineering excellence. Of Telford's surviving works, although leisure interest in his canals is increasing, his roads and bridges, for which he was aptly dubbed by Southey 'Colossus of Roads' and 'Pontifex Maximus' (Smiles, 476), now make the greatest contribution to society. L. T. C. Rolt, who was also the biographer of George Stephenson and Isambard Brunel, believed that Telford's 'achievement was as great as theirs and of equal historical significance' (Rolt, xi).

Taschenbuch. Gebraucht - Gut leichte Lagerspuren - The enthralling Sunday Times-bestselling biography of the shepherd boy who changed the world with his revolutionary engineering and whose genius we still benefit from today Thomas Telford's name is familiar; his story less so. Born in 1757 in the Scottish Borders, his father died in his infancy, plunging the family into poverty. Telford's life soared to span almost eight decades of gloriously obsessive, prodigiously productive energy. Few people have done more to shape our nation. A stonemason turned architect turned engineer, Telford invented the modern road, built churches, harbours, canals, docks, the famously vertiginous Pontcysyllte aqueduct in Wales and the dramatic Menai Bridge. His constructions were the greatest in Europe for a thousand years, and - astonishingly - almost everything he ever built remains in use today. Intimate, expansive and drawing on contemporary accounts, Man of Iron is the first full modern biography of Telford. It is a book of roads and landscapes, waterways and bridges, but above all, of how one man transformed himself into the greatest engineer Britain has ever produced. 448 pp. Englisch. Gebraucht. Artikel-Nr.: INF1001178996.

Inviting his foreign friend to dine with him the following Friday and 'see the fine drawings I mentioned to you'. Written during the period when Telford was involved not only with the Caledonian Canal in Scotland but with his Swedish venture, the extension of the Trollhätte Canal from Lake Vänern to Söderköping to meet the Baltic. Telford had been invited to undertake this commission by Count Bogislaus von Platen, a distinguished naval officer and diplomat, later governor of Norway, who was to become a lifelong friend. The engineer visited Sweden in connection with the work on only two occasions1, and von Platen came to England for the only time in England in 1822. The letter is perhaps to Friedrich Schlictegroll, 1765-1822, (Telford having difficultly with the spelling). He wrote the preface to A Complete Course of Lithography, 1819, but is better-known as the first biographer of Mozart. ______________(1) For Telford's first overseas visit he took the precaution of being well prepared: '[He] had packed enough supplies to carry him across the Atlantic. As well as buying sets of blankets, sheets and pillows he placed an order with Bell Rannie & Co. . that included included two dozen bottles of Madeira and the same of port; three dozen bottles of cider; six dozen of porter; half a dozen each of gin and brandy; a range of teas; three bacon hams; three pickled tongues; and a vast quantity of sugar and biscuits.' (Man of Iron / Thomas Telford and the Building of Britain, by Julian Glover, 2017, pages 210-211). Artikel-Nr.: 26623.

8vo., 7 folding engraved plates, xii + 438pp., including the half-title and with an errata slip tipped in before B1, with two leaves of advertisements, occasional minor foxing in the text and mild foxing on the plates, original publishers' pebble-dashed green cloth with original printed spine label. A very good copy. An authoritative, but off-piste, work by the economist and financial expert Henry Brooke Parnell (1776-1842), later 1st Baron Congleton, published during his absence from government office and before he was appointed Paymaster-General by Lord Melbourne. Of Parnell's Treatise on Roads> Williams (I p.450) considered it to be 'Important. Methods of construction and maintenance explained by a recognized authority'. The author clearly sees an efficient, well constructed and maintained network of roads as essential to the modern economy. 'When the state of society has arrived at a high degree of industry and wealth, so many persons, and such quantities of goods, are set in motion, for the purpose of administering to its business and its luxuries, that it becomes of the greatest importance to construct the public roads in such a manner as to admit of travelling with rapidity and safety, and of reducing the cost of the carriage of goods to the lowest possible point. To explain how these objects can be most effectually secured is the purpose of the following pages .' [p.1]. Artikel-Nr.: 27337.
