Goddard, Dwight. Eminent engineers: brief biographies of thirty-two of the inventors and engineers who did most to further mechanical progress. *$1.50. Derry-Collard co.
“In selecting the 32 subjects for these biographies, the honors were equally divided between American and European engineers. The American sketches are headed by Benjamin Franklin and John Fitch, and concluded by James B. Eads. Arkwright, Newcomen and Watt head the Europeans, and Bessemer and Sir William Siemens close the list.... In selecting the names, the object was to include men who had ‘accomplished something of importance in the development and application of power and machinery.’”—Engin. N.
“The volume, as a whole, brings together, in convenient and readable form, brief biographies of men whose careers are of interest to every engineer.”
