Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of the Corps of Royal Engineers, Vol. 1
One of the consequences of the adoption of this new principle has been the production of the present volumes. They are the result of diligent research, extending over several years; on the part of one who has sought thus to occupy such talents as it has pleased Providence to leave unimpaired. I trust that I have in this way created, at all events, a framework which may be developed at some future time in the hands of a more capable historian.
