1883. From the Preface: The author offers the following book as a continuation, in a more generally accessible form, of the Series of Memoirs of Industrial Men introduced in his Lives of the Engineers. While preparing that work he frequently came across the tracks of celebrated inventors, mechanics, and ironworkers, the founders, in a great measure, of the modern industry of Britain, whose labors seemed to him well worthy of being traced out and placed on record, and the more so as their lives presented many points of curious and original interest. Contents: Iron and Civilization; Beginnings of the Iron Manufacture in Britain; Iron-Smelting by Pit-Coal-Dud Dudley; Andrew Yarranton; Coalbrookdale Iron-Works-The Darbys and Reynoldses; Invention of Cast-Steel-Benjamin Huntsman; The Inventions of Henry Cort; Henry Maudslay; Joseph Clement; Fox of Derby-Murray of Leeds-Roberts and Whitworth of Manchester; James Nasmyth; and William Fairbairn.
