Following the success of his Life of George Stephenson in 1857, the author and social reformer Samuel Smiles (1812–1904) published this three-volume work between 1861 and 1862. Spanning from the Roman to Victorian period, it provides fascinating biographies of Britain's most notable engineers, including detailed accounts of their pioneering work.
