Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Society of Engineers: Established May 1854; Transactions for 1897 and General Index, 1857 to 1897
IN addressing you for the first time as President of this Society, I have to express my thanks for the honour you have conferred upon me in electing me to that important position, and at the same time I have to ask your indulgence for my own shortcomings, as I am, comparatively speaking, one of the younger members of the Society.
