About this book
Railways, and the locomotive in particular, form the backdrop of Samuel Smiles's life of George Stephenson and his son Robert, here in the revised Harper edition of 1868. A new opening history of the railway and early locomotive precedes the biography, with a memoir of Richard Trevithick. The preface compares railway mileage a decade earlier with the figures for Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Italy and India. Smiles also wrote Self-Help and The Huguenots. Father and son built the locomotive Rocket together, and Robert became a leading engineer in his own right.
