Excerpt from Biography of William Symington: Civil Engineer; Inventor of Steam Locomotion by Sea and Land Also, a Brief History of Steam Navigation, With Drawings
In the prosecution of his plans, the best of his days were spent; lucrative engagements abandoned; and his private means, and even those of his family, expended.
He lived to see that realised which, before he showed its practicability, was generally reckoned chimerical: and to observe others reaping the fruits of his labours, without the honesty to acknowledge to whom they were indebted.
The following narrative is drawn up from a memo rial presented to the Lords of His Majesty's Trea sury, in behalf of William Symington; and from documents in the possession of his family.
