Excerpt from Our Railway System Viewed in Reference to Invasion
It is not alone with the view of giving weight to the following statements that I grace these pages with your name. I wished for an opportunity to record my own pleasant remembrances of inter course extending over many years, during which I had the advantage of designing or executing many works, public and private, under your discerning eye and with your approval. No man living combines your long and varied experiences of war, with that accurate knowledge of the works of the Civil Engineer afforded you by your laborious and distinguished career in various Civil appointments.
