This book documents the rich life of Edwin Octavius Tregelles, a dedicated engineer and devout Christian. Born in 1806, he spent his early years in Falmouth, Cornwall, before embarking on a career in engineering at the Neath Abbey Iron Works in Wales. Tregelles found solace in his faith throughout his life, and in 1827 experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to become a vocal advocate for Christianity. He traveled extensively, sharing his beliefs and promoting the temperance movement. The book also explores Tregelles' commitment to his profession, highlighting his role in lighting several towns with gas during the early 19th century. Through a detailed examination of Tregelles' journals and correspondence, the author offers a compelling account of a man whose unwavering faith and dedication to both his work and his religious beliefs shaped his remarkable life.
