Publisher's Synopsis
"I have had much pleasure in editing the following Memoir of my friend Mr. Nasmyth. Some twenty years since (in April 1863), when I applied to him for information respecting his mechanical inventions, he replied: "My life presents no striking or remarkable incidents, and would, I fear, prove but a tame narrative..."" This book, "James Nasmyth, engineer: an autobiography. edited by Samuel Smiles, with a portrait by George Reid, etched by Paul Rajon, and numerous illustrations", by J. Nasmyth, is a replication of a book originally published before 1883. It has been restored by human beings, page by page, so that you may enjoy it in a form as close to the original as possible. This book was created using print-on-demand technology. Thank you for supporting classic literature.
