Boulton and Watt by Samuel Smiles.
There is very little that i could not like about Samuel Smiles, the author of this very fine book about the lives of the steam engine pioneers Boulton and Watt, this being one of many set down by this highly talented writer on the subject of the "great men" of his age. Samuel Smiles had the great advantage over later authors when writing on the subject of the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution that he was a contemporary of many of them and in that respect had a very good understanding of the age in which they lived and the ideals that motivated them and the great changes that they sought to achieve and frequently did. Samuel Smiles was a very close friend of George Stephenson the railway pioneer and his son Robert who went on to become one of Englands finest civil engineers in his own right, Smiles naturally wrote a book about the subject and it still remains today a definitive biography of both mens achievements. I can well recommend any of the works of Samuel Smiles both on the subject of the pioneers of the Industrial Revolution and also his many works relating to the subject of character development, a matter that may have been highly regarded by Smiles and his contemparies but sadly lost to later generations.
