This biography of civil engineer Thomas Telford (1757–1834) was published in 1867 by Samuel Smiles, author of Self-Help. Deriving from Smiles' three-volume Lives of the Engineers, it brings together accounts of road travel by earlier writers, and of Telford's own career as a builder of roads, bridges and canals.
