the prosperity for Fraserburgh and Banff and many other less main point
centers; while Dundee protects and Aberdeen, the commercial and principal cities of
the east coast, owes to him an extraordinary great part of their present
wealth and industry. When one thinks as great a number of human beings
profit has been drawn by the Scottish harbour of Telford he/she works alone, it is
impossible not to envy a great engineer his/her almost boundless power of
the permanent utility in thousands not yet been born of his/her individual-creatures.
As a channel-creator, Telford was not really, less succeeded that as a
builder of roads and harbours. Its greatest job is true in this
direction was in a sense a failure. He had a Government job for
