Description
Excerpt from The Life of Sir William Fairbairn, Bart: Partly Written by Himself
IT was not without some hesitation that I undertook, at the request of the family of the late sir william fair bairn, a task which, under ordinary circumstances, would have been better performed by a more practised writer. It was, however, considered that, from the peculiar nature of his occupations and pursuits, justice could hardly be done to his biography, except by some one familiar with the technical and scientific subjects it must so largely treat of and it was on this ground alone that I felt justified in accepting the proposal.
