Samuel Smiles tells the story of James Brindley, a self-taught millwright who became a pioneer in the construction of canals and aqueducts in 18th-century England. Brindley's engineering feats transformed the landscape and economy of the country, and allowed for the efficient transportation of goods between cities. Smiles provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of this remarkable man, and sheds light on the early days of industrialization in Britain.
