Excerpt from The Modern Practice of Boiler Engineering, Containing Observations on the Construction of Steam Boilers: And Upon Furnances Used for Smoke Prevention, With a Chapter on Explosions
I venture to dedicate these pages to you, both as a manifestation of my reverence for the memory of your late Father, of whose genius and persistency I was for many years an admiring spectator and as a slender token of my sense of your own eminent talents as an engineer, and of your estimable personal character. While some engineering reputations are known to rest on diplomatic adroitness, and others are alto gether hollow and conventional, it is known to be your great distinction that the fabric of your 'fame is as solid as it is imposing, and is held in most esteem by those whose pursuits best enable them to judge of its quality.
