From the steam locomotive Rocket to the Britannia Bridge, the work of Robert Stephenson (1803–59) helped consolidate the foundations of the modern engineering profession. Drawing on the testimony of relatives and contemporaries, this 1864 biography by John Cordy Jeaffreson (1831–1901) traces the career of this quiet industrial innovator.
