Excerpt from An Account of the Construction of the Britannia and Conway Tubular Bridges: With a Complete History of Their Progress, From the Conception of the Original Idea, to the Conclusion of the Elaborate Experiments Which Determined the Exact Form and Mode of Construction Ultimately Adopted I have approached this portion of the work with that hesita tion which a just difiidence in my own powers could not fail to inspire; but the extent of the correspondence, taken in con nection with the experimantal researches which follow, will, it is hoped, speak for the industry and closeness of application with which the subject has been pursued; and also, for the active and unflinching exertions which have characterized my official connection with the undertaking.
